Synopsis
Le Silence avant Bach, œuvre d'un réalisateur catalan de 78 ans, explore, avec fantaisie, les liens que la musique de Bach peut entretenir avec les images en mouvement, et la place de cette musique dans l'Europe actuelle. Tourné en trois langues (catalan, allemand, et espagnol) entre Barcelone, Leipzig et Dresde, le film parcourt l'espace et le temps, de l'installation de Bach à Leipzig comme cantor en 1723, jusqu'à notre XXI siècle européen, au moyen de courtes séquences, très diverses (reconstitutions, voyages, entretiens, visites...), aux liens subtils.Actors

With only a few exceptions, the film follows the same plot as the opera. Iago plots and brings about Otello's downfall by convincing him that his wife Desdemona is engaged in an affair with the young lieutenant Cassio, provoking Otello to murder her in a blind rage. However, in a major change from the opera, Otello kills Iago at the end by throwing a spear at him, while in the stage version he only wounds him with his sword.

The story is set in 1895 France and takes place predominantly in Paris. However, it begins on a farm in rural Provence. The lovely housecat Mewsette and the accomplished but shy mouser Jaune Tom are in love ("Mewsette"), but the former is frustrated with his plebeian ways (and those of the farm), to the point of calling him a "clumsy country clod". Inspired by the human Jeanette's stories of glamour and sophistication in Paris ("Take My Hand, Paree"), Mewsette runs away by taking a train to the big city ("Roses Red, Violets Blue"), where she encounters the slick con-cat Meowrice (Paul Frees). Taking advantage of the country kitty's naivete, he puts her in the care of the sultry Madame Henretta Reubens-Chatte, who promises to turn Mewsette into a dainty debutante known as "The Belle of all Paris". Unbeknownst to Mewsette, Meowrice is grooming her to be the mail-order bride of a rich American cat in Pittsburgh known as "Mr. Henry Phtt" ("The Money Cat"). Meanwhile, Jaune Tom and his sidekick Robespierre arrive in Paris, searching for Mewsette.
