Rhinegold - Faces of a Great River

Synopsis

The Rhine is at the heart of the European soul: The most important river of the continent originates in the Gotthard massif high up in the Alps – and on its journey to the North Sea it joins Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, France, Germany and the Netherlands. Poets and musicians from all countries created works of art to express the power of the stream. One of the most arduously working artists of all time was captured by this river and its myths: Richard Wagner. This documentary revives the power of the Rhine by presenting the natural diversity of its landscapes in unseen and superb aerial cinematography, by telling its rich history, – enriched with the power or Richard Wagner’s art that culminated in his Magnus Opum: The Ring of the Nibelung.
