The Hendersonville Film Society concludes its annual Music in Movies month with this 1985 Bravo “biography” of legendary conductor Arturo Toscanini. In other words, expect a typical Bravo look at Toscanini—of the well-scrubbed, suitable-for-mass-consumption, wouldn’t-make-the-most-conservative-high-school-teacher-blush variety. An adequate introduction, but hardly much of a portrait of the maestro.
Toscanini: The Maestro
Movie Information
The Hendersonville Film Society will show Toscanini: The Maestro at 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28, in the Smoky Mountain Theater at Lake Pointe Landing Retirement Community, 333 Thompson St., Hendersonville. (From Asheville, take I-26 to U.S. 64 West, turn right at the third light onto Thompson Street. Follow to the Lake Point Landing entrance and park in the lot on the left.)
