Visualizing the convergence of Lau Lauritzen's style and the core Musical narrative.
The attic of a city house is the home to a colony of artists. Among them is a writer, whose corpus is larger than her output. We also meet a hard-of-hearing poet who can still hear the grass growing. There's a painter, a sculptor and more. All are penniless - hoping that one day they will experience their breakthrough. "The Seventh Heaven", as the corridor is called, also houses two prominent residents, Fyrtårnet and Bivognen. They have set up a small diner and engage lively with the artist from the colony.
Decades after its release, Med fuld musik remains a vital piece of the cinematic puzzle. Its influence can be seen in countless modern works, solidifying Lau Lauritzen's status as a master of the craft in Denmark and beyond.
