One Night, One Life

The film takes viewers on a journey through a dream-like modern city, with Pierrot navigating various scenes such as an abattoir, a peep-show, a station, and a supermarket. Each scene reflects different aspects of contemporary life, creating a rich tapestry of experiences that align with Schönberg’s musical composition.

Starring Christine Schäfer and conducted by Pierre Boulez, this work combines music and visual storytelling in a distinctive manner. As part of the Arthaus Musik collection, it holds appeal for those interested in the intersection of film and avant-garde music. The collaboration among prominent production companies like Eins54 Film GmbH, ZDF, and ARTE further enhances its artistic credibility.
