Adam’s Passion is the moving first collaboration between two “masters of slow motion who harmonize perfectly with each other” (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung). In the spectacular setting of a former submarine factory, American director and universal artist Robert Wilson creates a poetic visual world in which the mystical musical language of the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt can cast its meditative spell. Three of Pärt’s major works – Adam’s Lament, Tabula rasa, and Miserere, as well as Sequentia, a new work composed especially for this production – are brought together here using light, space, and movement to create a tightly-woven Gesamtkunstwerk in which the artistic visions of these two great artists mirror each other.

A brilliant film that helped define a genre
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
