Pvt. Ravel's Boléro
What if Ravel had written Boléro in the trenches?
Winner of 80+ international awards, Pvt. Ravel's Boléro is an antiwar filmic poem that places France's greatest composer in the mud of Verdun — driving a supply camion, haunted by war, and on the edge of creating his most iconic work.
Raw. Poetic. Disorienting.
This is war without the gloss.
Inspired by an original 2014 poem by JZ Murdock and the basis for a companion book currently under editorial review, this immersive 28-minute film has screened at festivals worldwide (Including war zones, i.e. Ukraine) and earned 160+ wins and official selections.
Currently available in the United States, United Kingdom, and France.
