Little Blue Nothing

(Vincent Moon, Antoine Viviani, France, 2009, HD, 51 min.)
Little Blue Nothing is the sound of the most beautiful music you never heard. It's also the title of this film where Moon really gets going as a film artist. Everything quivers with sensuality in this touching love story about the two Czech cellists Irena and Vojtech Havel, who in the course of more than 15 years lived together in a fascinating and almost symbiotic partnership. Apart from a long lineup of brilliant neoclassical works, which evoke memories of Arvo PÃ¤rt's minimalism, ECM's new jazz, Eastern European folk music and Indian ragas, the duo - performing under the name The Havels (Havlovi in Czech) - has worked in theatre, film, pictorial arts and poetry - without even thinking of having children or submitting to a nuclear family idyll. Vincent Moon's intimately registering and actively participating camera gets right underneath the skin of the two musicians, for whom art and music is everything.
