John Zorn’s deep thoughts and life philosophy unfold on screen as we follow his movement, music, and creative process, observing him fully immersed in listening and playing.

Mathieu Amalric’s second film on musical genius John Zorn shifts away from the bustle of touring, focusing instead on the magic that emerges from the rehearsal process. Influenced by the experimental films of Maya Deren and Harry Smith, the maestro’s creative process invites improvisation with glee.
