About This Movie

Bach vs Covid is an intriguing documentary that captures the somber yet hopeful atmosphere of Latvia during a pandemic. The film follows street musician Normunds, whose cello serenades juxtapose the backdrop of a city under lockdown. It’s fascinating how the documentary explores themes of isolation and resilience through music, using minimal but effective visuals that enhance the poignant mood. Normunds' performances are raw and genuine, providing a stark contrast to the chaos outside. The pacing feels reflective, allowing moments of stillness that give weight to the emotional landscape. It’s not so much about grand statements, rather it’s an intimate glimpse into human spirit amidst despair—definitely gives you something to ponder after the credits roll.
