As there is no future in music for him, Amadeus decides to become a policeman. As a detective he is able to function because his ability to read lips, thus he is able to make a career as a detective when we first meet him.
Sanna Persson, a woman with an ambition to do her own kind of music, is not exactly what one would expect. Her music is eclectic and different. She is the composer of a musical project "Music for the City and Six Drummers" a complex undertaking to create music using the most bizarre methods. Helped by Magnus, she embarks on a journey to recruit men capable of playing the most outrageous instruments besides the drums. Their tactics baffle everyone and the police, who consider they are simply terrorists.
This wonderful Swedish comedy was jointly directed by Ola Simonsson and Johannes Stjarne Nilsson. The main idea seems to be questioning our tastes in music. While Amadeus comes from a classical musicians, the great conductor Oscar Warnebring is Amadeus' brother, the creators are merely asking why are we so against to listen to music that appears to be strange to our ears. Sanna and her group want to incorporate everyday sounds into compositions that while different, are not completely horrible. In fact, there are cadences in some of the pieces that are even tuneful.
Amadeus' own world is silence, and yet, he can understand what Sanna and the band are trying to accomplish. Bengt Nilsson gives a good performance as the deaf detective. Sanna Persson appeared in the directors' own "Music for One Apartment and Six Drummers", which seem to have been the basis for this full length feature.
Shot in and around Malmo, Sweden, which the cinematographer Charlotta Tengroth captures for our enjoyment. The music was created by Fred Avril, Magnus Borgeson and Six Drummers. The film does not disappoint.
