Als der Pianist Francesco Piemontesi eine unveröffentlichte Aufnahme des Pianisten und Komponisten Sergei Rachmaninoff hört, ist das wie ein Schock für ihn. Diese Freiheit des Spiels, diese Farben und Nuancen, diese Virtuosität, die doch immer mit einem Lächeln präsentiert wird, überwältigen ihn. Er beschließt, zu erforschen, was er hier zu hören glaubt: die Alchemie des Klaviers. An der Seite von Regisseur Jan Schmidt-Garre macht sich Piemontesi auf eine Reise zu älteren Kollegen, die ihm zu diesen geheimen Elementen des Klavierspiels Auskunft geben können. Er fährt zu Maria João Pires nach Spanien, zu Jean-Rodolphe Kars in ein französisches Kloster und zu Stephen Kovacevich nach London. Er lässt sich von der Opernsängerin Ermonela Jaho inspirieren, auf dem Klavier zu singen, und vom Dirigenten Antonio Pappano, die Farben des Orchesters aufs Klavier zu übertragen. Zum Abschluss besucht er seinen alten Lehrer und Mentor Alfred Brendel. Und selbst der 1943 gestorbene Rachmaninoff ist plötzlich wieder sehr lebendig. —Barnsteiner Film

A handful of tourists looking for adventure get more than they bargained for when they cross paths with a massive man-eating beast in this thriller. Pete McKell (Michael Vartan) is a writer for an American travel magazine who has been assigned to write a story about vacationing in rugged Northern Australia.

Pete soon finds he's roughing it in the Aussie wilds with an eclectic variety of travelers, including Russell (John Jarratt), who is dealing with the death of his wife; Simon (Stephen Curry), a tactless amateur photographer; and Allen (Geoff Morrell), a member of the British upper crust making the trip with his ailing spouse (Heather Mitchell) and their rambunctious daughter (Mia Wasikowska). While Kate's former husband, who also works on the river, makes a pest of himself in the early stages of the voyage, the travelers soon find they have more to worry about when their craft is attacked by a massive 25-foot crocodile, who is just clever enough to know how to trap its prey before enjoying them for dinner. An idyllic wildlife cruise disintegrates into terror when a party of tourists are stalked by a massive man-eating crocodile.

After an uneventful day cruising the river, Kate is reluctantly persuaded to steer their boat into unexplored territory. They discover a secluded lake but terror strikes when their craft receives a powerful blow from beneath the murky depths and begins to sink. With little choice, she beaches the vessel on the closest dry land -a tiny mud island. With a rising tide and only half an hour of daylight left, fear grips the group as they realize they are trapped in the lair of a 'rogue' crocodile, governed only by its need to hunt and kill. Begrudgingly, Pete and Kate join forces to keep hysteria at bay and in the process start to see beyond their initial impressions. Their first attempt to escape fails, but then Pete has an idea - they must trap the crocodile to enable the group to flee to the other side of the island whilst Kate swims for help. Pete volunteers to stand guard, but without warning, the beast breaks free and targets Kate who fails to resurface. As darkness descends and the muddy waters rise, a terrifying struggle ensues with only one probable outcome death. —The Age 6th of May 2000
