”This film clearly shows Lena Måndotter’s deep understanding of the connection between song, psyche and body-soul work. The depth of the movie is shown in the original and convincing way she uses the images.
People who watch this film will be moved at a deep level and even if they don’t understand everything with their heads; their bodies will definitely understand” MARION WOODMAN

”Letters to a Young Singer is a brave film about the worlds of song and myth. I have deep respect for Lena Måndotter’s creativity and professionality as a filmer and as a producer because the production is also very beautiful. I really hope she continues filming!” HENRIK VON SYDOW, SVT – Swedish National Television/Broadcasting.
