Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shostakovich's 10th was his first post-Stalin symphony, widely read as a portrait of tyranny—using it here layers historical weight onto present horrors.
Hulsing painted each frame in oils over two years; the texture you see is literal brushstrokes of human hands witnessing machine destruction.
