In short animated films, Kentridge visualizes Goerne's and Hinterhauser's sonic contribution. A memorabl emeeting "of melancholy and magic." "Mr. Kentridge's 24 stop-action films - made up of animated ink drawings and collages - offer a visually mesmerizing and thought-provoking commentary on Schubert's song cycle.
