Although the third day was spent in the relatively familiar surroundings of my sister’s house, only one kilometer or so from my own, it was a day of emotional turmoil as some of the maestro’s “wildest” scenes were played out.

They included situations with his two teenaged helpers, with his stalker who has tracked him down from Vienna, and with visions of his long-dead mother who perished in mysterious circumstances. An emotional day too for 16-year-old Income, who plays a street kid busking amid desolate Bangkok byways during the Covid crisis, often exploited, who finally finds someone who actually wants him to play the violin … for 13-year old Japan who plays Dr. Arun’s disciple Luke, who may be the real “evil genius” of the film.
