Jean-Charles Fitoussi is back with yet another delicious philosophical (re)treat. How about spending a laid-back summer afternoon in the varied beauties of Majorca, bathed in golden southern light listening to Clément Rosset - a one-of-a-kind philosopher - and Espinoza conversing about the mysterious pleasure that music gives to our body and mind?
Much more than a recorded conversation, and easily more than philosophy in its academic sense, On Music or The Dance of Joy is a special work where music dances with images and, in lieu of ordinary descriptive progression, the narrative follows sensorial and spiritual demands to transcend the whole to find pure grace. Hence, the discourse and reasoning are freed from the limitations of cognitive signification and the dictatorship of logic. On Music or The Dance of Joy is a joyful manifesto about thought, music and cinema, and ultimately a hymn to life.
