It's very ethereal. Should be an interesting project.

Biographical movie "Vision" starring Barbara Sukowa and directed by Margarethe von Trotta. Miss Sukowa also starred as Rosa Luxemburg and Hannah Arendt in two other movies directed by von Trotta. "Vision" is the best of the three.

I saw Hildegard's von Bingen's Opera in New York- pretty amazing. Also attended a lecture by Dr. Sacks on migraines and art and Hildegard in San Francisco - an eye opener as I have had eye migraines in the past.
