You cannot force the music to come. You can only wait for it.

The documentary film V. Sylvestrov, dedicated to the Ukrainian composer Valentyn Silvestrov, has nothing in common with the traditional biopic about a prominent person. It is an observation, a confession and, above all, the story of a great talent against the background of uncertain times. Of course, the authors pay due attention to the composer’s creative techniques: the avant-garde of the 1960s, which did not show much respect in the time of socialist realism; postmodernism, his central obsession during the 1970s; metaphorical music and contemporary pieces which charm the audience all around the world.
