Title: Too many closeup of open mouths
Review: I was disappointed in this film, mainly because of the excessive number and length of the closeups on the conductors' faces. Also, it would have been helpful to know who was conducting which orchestra. One can guess, I suppose, by the language the conductor uses to address the musicians. It was interesting to see each conductor's rehearsal technique and to learn more about their attraction to Mahler's music. But I found the closeups distracting, and it spoiled the film for me.
