From acclaimed director Pavel Lungin (Tsar, The Island) comes The Conductor - his most ambitious work to date. A leading Russian conductor takes his orchestra to Jerusalem to perform the Matthew Passion. And what is expected to be an ordinary business trip becomes a life changing experience for all concerned. Events force the Conductor to re-evaluate his entire life. The film is a winner on all fronts: masterful performances, exemplary cinematography and moving music of a modern “St. Matthew Passion”, composed by Metropolitan Hillarion of Volokalamsk. “A simple yet mysterious tale that plumbs the depths of human tragedy without offering easy answers” - Deborah Young, (The Hollywood Reporter). Perhaps it is…never too late to change?
