very stark and very drab and no real drama . why not just make a documentary . this isn not exactly the passion of joan of arc . the only reason for see chronicle be to hear the performance . i love bach music and even i find it hard to sit through this misery of a film . the great gustav leonhardt play ( in two sens of the word ) bach . we do not get much of a sense of him a an actor and since he give so little to do dramatically . mostly and he get to walk purposefully or angrily out of various room . bach life and of course and be not an errol flynn movie . it be indeed fairly drab and more than a little hard . this probably mean that the life isn not a terrific candidate for a film . the music and of course and be another story . i recommend the station of bach . far more information and for one thing and and some insight into the music and which be and after all and why bach interest u in the first place .
