ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
George Enescu, a brilliant composer and violinist, is at the peak of his career and wants to compose an opera. He falls in love with a princess, Maruca, who inspires and challenges him. She is fascinated by Enescu and his music.
A new Romanian film portraying the life of composer and violinist George Enescu is attracting attention and winning multiple awards beyond national borders, following a successful domestic run.
As part a growing new wave of Romanian cinema gaining international acclaim and a plethora of awards, Enescu, Skinned Alive, directed by Toma Enache, is now showing across Europe, with a recent screening at Lyon’s historic arthouse Comoedia cinema.
The biopic explores the complex personal life and creative genius of the revered Romanian composer George Enescu, whose legacy looms large in Romania but has rarely been portrayed on the silver screen. Central to the film is his love affair with Princess Maruca Cantacuzino – a relationship often misunderstood or sidelined in historical accounts.
Director Toma Enache said he was inspired to make the film after visiting the George Enescu Memorial House: “When I got to the museum with his name, and I saw a photo of him, with his dog by his side, in the hotel room where he died alone, I told myself I must do a movie dedicated to George Enescu.”
