If you value your time spare yourself the torture to see a MOTION PICTURE without MOTION. Of course you can go to a concert and see an orchestra and choir while listening to Bach but here these 2 characters Huillet and Straub just spoiled everything because there's no movement in the movie at all, there's no zooming in to the period instruments or the costumes of performers, let alone showing the magnificent surroundings of a cathedral or an altar.
The zipping down of the women's voice that's supposed to be the wife and narrator reading at high speed about local happenings of 1738 Prussia is also not acceptable. Big disappointment!
