The Maestro
2021 · 99 min · Dir. Paul Spurrier
Dr. Arun, genius composer, conductor, and madman, has been fired from every major orchestra in Europe and returns to his native Thailand where he takes a humiliating job teaching a youth ensemble. When his chance to conduct his masterpiece on a world-wide live stream is snatched away by celeb conductor Walter Paisley, he and a pair of child prodigies set up their own orchestra in a ruined mansion and, as the Covid crisis takes over the country, begin luring - and eventually abducting - young musicians to create a musical Eden in the wilderness. But things go horribly wrong.
