Janáček: Jenůfa poster

Released in 2009, Janáček: Jenůfa is a musique film directed by Stéphane Braunschweig, running about 167 minutes. “Leos Janáček's Jenůfa performed at the Teatro Real, Madrid” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. "Yenufa" is an outstanding phenomenon in the music of the 20th century. Drawing on Moravian folklore, Janáček faithfully and deeply conveyed the drama of a peasant girl. The composer followed the path of Mussorgsky, revealing the spiritual life of people through the recreation of intonations of living speech. The libretto is based on a drama written in a naturalistic manner. Free from naturalism, Janáček's music has powerful emotional strength and psychological truth. It was written during a difficult period in the composer's life (illness and death of his daughter).

Who’s in it. Janáček: Jenůfa stars Amanda Roocroft as Jenůfa, Deborah Polaski as Kostelnička, Miroslav Dvorský as Laca Klemen and Nikolai Schukoff as Števa Buryja, among others.
