Overview

Voyageur Intranquille (Unquiet Traveller) is an evocative film that blurs the boundaries between documentary and fiction, offering an intimate portrait of the unconventional pianist Piotr Anderszewski. Directed by renowned filmmaker Bruno Monsaingeon, the film captures Anderszewski during a reflective journey by train through wintery Poland, accompanied by his grand piano. The film stands out by presenting not just performances but also the artist's personal musings and his relentless pursuit of musical meaning.

The journey is accompanied by a musical selection that spans some of the most important works of classical music, including compositions by Bach, Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven, Brahms, Schumann, and Szymanowski. This "road movie" takes the audience on a profound exploration of music, artistry, and the introspective nature of an artist.

Gustavo Dudamel, one of the world’s most sought-after conductors, joins Anderszewski for parts of this journey, along with the Philharmonia Orchestra and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen. Dorota Anderszewska, Piotr’s sister, adds her virtuoso violin playing to the project, making it a rich, multi-faceted artistic collaboration.
