The first film with full access to the unique Berlin Philharmonic takes a breathtaking trip on their tour through Asia and provides exquisite insight into the ego of an orchestra as a united experience.
A Trip to Asia is a truly remarkable film attempting to tell an intangible story of the struggle between individual and community. In doing so it captures an inspiring and thrilling interpretation of art and harmony. It follows the experiences of individual Berlin Philharmonic orchestra members under the tutelage of Sir Simon Rattle during their first tour of Asia.
In full cinematic surround sound with an innovative score by Simon Stockhausen and widescreen epic images photographed by some of the world’s leading cinematographers, including regular Lars Von Trier collaborator Anthony Dod Mantle. This is one breathtaking cinema experience not to miss.
“It’s an unkickable drug habit, and I’m happy to be a junkie till the end of my days!”
