The Father will premiere later this month at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival.

All a matter of preference but I think the one in the film which is interpreted by Andreas Scholl is its best interpretation and his abrupt pauses in between words in the film part are my favourites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfDbOu_zUNg
