Teremin

About This Movie

So, 'Teremin' is this fascinating slice of life about Lev Theremin, an inventor who brought us the thereminvox. The film really captures that tumultuous period in the late 20s to the late 30s, you know? It’s not just about the music but also the highs and lows of his American success and the ultimate crash. The pacing has this rhythm that mirrors the ups and downs of his life – a bit like the eerie sounds of the theremin itself. The performances are compelling; you really feel the tension of his dual existence in America and back in Russia. It’s got this moody atmosphere, reflective of the era, and, honestly, it’s a niche look at a man whose invention shaped electronic music in a way that’s still felt today.
