A Romantic Rendezvous: Opening Night Gala November 5th 2009
The 17th fest is off to a Romantic start with the Canadian premiere of Clara.
Helma Sanders-Brahms, the most critically acclaimed and highly awarded female
voice of the New German Cinema, presents a grand tale of passion, betrayal and
redemption with Clara, her astounding biopic of Clara Schumann.
A brilliant musician and composer in her own right, Clara is content to stay
in the background and support the delicate genius of her husband Robert Schumann;
that is until the younger and equally brilliant Johannes Brahms enters their
lives as his protégé.
Cocky and charismatic, Brahms is everything her husband is not and as Robert’s
paranoia threatens to destroy their once idyllic lives, Clara finds herself drawn
even closer to her young friend. Torn apart by loyalty and desire, Clara channels
her suppressed emotions into music.
As their passion for her drives Robert and Johannes to greater heights, it’s
Clara who soars. The film weaves together music by all three composers and it’s
clear that Clara Schumann was more than just a muse, she was a masterpiece.
