The Robber Symphony

The Amsterdam film museum made a wonderful fresh restaurated copy of the Robber Symphony, which today, Sept. 3 2006, was shown on TV in the Netherlands, after a promised emission some years ago failed.

This is not a review of the Robber Symphony, but i cannot find any other way to bring you more information on Alfred Tokayer You mention only the film and the documentary "Attention aux Enfants" There is also a CD of his compositions and it can be found on Google.

This is different from most musicals --- it is kind of "avant garde" or whatever, not sure how to say it, it is just a very different experience of a musical that you have to see to really understand for yourself. Lots of great imagery and locations with some beautiful shots.

This film - clumsy as the few remaining copies now might seem to us - has an unforgettable poetry in it. The film is about a treasure hidden in an pianola or organ.

This movie is not for those who only like high-paced films full of explosions, sex and cruelty.
