Title: Dark and Dank Palmer.
Product review: Palmer ought to really try another art form as a profession--perhaps cartoons for a start.I have never seen anything this man has done regarding classical bio that is sustained good story telling or bio. He likes explicit physical suffering in the darkest of environments.Never the joy of Shostakovich--in bright light and benevolent clarity-- holding hands with ormandy and Rostropovich in Philadelphia--smiling, happy, joyful. I would play the third movement of the tenth and do a Beethoven like ode to joy ( and liberation from Stalin) at the end of the film by playing the later part of the last movement of the Tenth--- that expresses joy, happiness, supreme confidence and excitation. That would be in good taste and leave us uplifted. Palmer likes pus and the dark prison of the suprressed mind. Don't like his stuff.
