Expressionism made a striking entry in the world of film with its stylized visuals and intensely physical acting performances. New European Ensemble, a music group from The Hague, performs the score for this evening”s film. They selected from the works of Salvatore Sciarrino, Luca Francesconi and Tristan Murail, whose compositions resonate with the film”s eerie character.
