Jan Klusák – Axis Temporum
Jan Klusák – Axis temporum, Czech Republic, 2009, 57 min, DVD, HD, Music, Portrait
This black-and-white documentary captures composer Jan Klusák on the axis of time (axis temporum) between his 70th and 75th year of age full of incomparable vitality, charm, and wit. Klusák composes a pivotal composition of this period and follows its genesis during a performance by Petr Altrichter. He allows us a glimpse of his childhood, which comes alive through photographs of his beloved father who perished in Auschwitz. He also characterizes his various happy and difficult periods when his music was not allowed to be performed. Klusák's life story reflects the most tragic moments in the history of the 20th century. Everything is permeated with his music – music as a life attitude.
