Description
------------------
Asta Nielsen, the greatest Danish diva of all time, has been reincarnated on the big screen with the revival of the 1919 silent film TOWARDS THE LIGHT, produced by Nordisk Film and directed by Holger-Madsen. This special-edition DVD features a new score composed by some of Denmark's leading musicians: Jonas Struck, Kasper Tranberg, Mads Hyhne and P.O. Jorgens. TOWARDS THE LIGHT is a haunting story of dangerous temptation, a tale of the divine and the diabolical. Asta Nielsen plays an alluring, coquettish upper-class woman who, after being abandoned by her first love, sets out to seduce an evangelist. The New score was reccorded live at the sold-out Copenhagen Jazz House during "NatFilm," the biggest and most prestigious international film festival in Denmark. The group's one-of-a-kind score creates a unique, melodic and poetic atmosphere, only to have it shattered by a series of dynamic explosions.
