FLORIAN ILIES AND THE MAGIC OF SILENCE
No German painter triggers emotions like Caspar David Friedrich. Even today, his evening skies are icons of yearning; he inspired Samuel Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot” and Walt Disney’s “Bambi”. But Goethe was so angered by the puzzling melancholy of his pictures that he wanted to smash them on edge of a table. In THE MAGIC OF SILENCE, his epic journey through time, the art connoisseur and brilliant storyteller FLORIAN ILLIES (“1913: The Year Before the Storm”) tells the adventurous story of Friedrich’s paintings, using them to illustrate 250 years of German history. Host: MONA AMEZIANE
