Desc: Wagner, Bayreuth und der Rest der Welt: Directed by Axel Brüggemann. With Alessandra Althoff-Pugliese, Valery Gergiev, Eva Graf, Hiroshi Ishizaka. The documentary film Wagner, Bayreuth and the rest of the world illuminates Richard Wagner's ongoing popularity and cultic admiration. In the case of the controversial German composer, there seems to be only admirers and opponents. Axel Brüggemann investigates why Wagner polarizes music lovers so much and how the enthusiasm for his creations still persists - at the festival in Bayreuth, but also beyond the German borders.
