The Tchaikovsky Files (2015)

A very emotional psychological study of Russia’s most famous composer. Tchaikovsky’s life as a gay composer in a homophobic environment is of timeless topicality, even today. Interviews with Vladimir Malakhov and Cameron Carpenter as well as musicologist Kadja Gronke and his biographer Philip Bullock make this film a must see not only for classical music enthusiasts or LGBT campaigners, but for everyone concerned about personal liberties in a modern society. Based on letters and diaries of Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
