...Johan's with his son Henrik (Börje Ahlstedt) and Henrik's with his teenage daughter Karin (Julia Dufvenius). All three have been handicapped by desolation over the death of Henrik's much-loved wife Anna. Henrik, a failed musician, has transferred his ambition to Karin, a promising cellist. When Anna was alive, Henrik was lost in love with Anna; and, Karin says, "I was a little shut out of that love." Now Karin is all he has. His ardor, as two startling moments indicate, is at least emotionally incestuous. One scene begins with Henrik in bed with...
...himself seducing a date to light jazz: "Oh yeah. Oh. Yeah. Let me close these blinds. Is it hot in here? It's gotta be these hot, smooth sounds!" When he learns that I used to play the cello, he becomes an M.C. busting rhymes over a solo cellist: "Break it down, Johann! Rock awwwn! Can the cello have some, y'all?

(read Britney Spears) song on their iPods...
With more elusive personalities like cellist Jacqueline du Pré, whose career was cut short by multiple sclerosis in 1973, when she was 28, and Carlos Kleiber, the notoriously reclusive conductor who died last year, the interviews and documentaries that usually make up the bonus material on DVDs are scarce if not nonexistent. The producers are reduced to offering such extras as "photo galleries." No matter; the releases sell anyway. The performers' names and mystique are enough. Almost two decades after Du Pré's death in 1987, a DVD titled Jacqueline du Pré in Portraitis one of the best-selling offerings...
