The whispering chorus

I forgot to write about this but several weeks ago I went to see a movie called "The whispering chorus". Nothing so weird about it except for the fact that the movie was a 1918 black and white mute film. What is even more amazing about it that the projection of the film was accompanied by a jazz quintet that gave an amazing performence of jazz music directly coresponding to the mood and scenes of the film.

Honestly, that was very impressive. Never ever have I seen such a particular art form, nor have I imagined that you can enrich an old classical movie with music. The whole experience takes you to another world - 90 years in an era where ideas where born and new inventions change people's lives - the telephone, the train, the cinema. Another fact is that Torino is so much full of cultural events that remain hidden and you have to discover them yourself. Pretty much that is the spirit of the city - a pearl on the map of Italy with many hidden treasures that remain unseen for the observer at first glance.
