Description
[Machine Translation] Will the final curtain rise on a quartet that has gone mad? Philip Seymour Hoffman, Christopher Walken, and Catherine Keener are among the Academy's star-studded cast in this moving ensemble drama set to Beethoven's masterpiece. Beethoven's String Quartet No. 14 is a difficult piece that must be played in all seven movements in an uninterrupted "attacca". The performance is a story of life itself, as the quartet continues to search for harmony in the distorted tones of the music, since tuning is impossible. The music is by Angelo Badalamenti, a familiar face in David Lynch's films. The cinematography is by a diverse production team including Frederick Elms, who has worked on films by David Lynch and Jim Jarmusch! The world-renowned Brentano String Quartet performs in the film. Other professional musicians include popular mezzo-soprano Anne-Sophie Otter. -Daniel on first violin, who charms the audience with his cool and precise playing, Robert on second violin, who adds color and texture, Rachel on viola, who adds depth, and Peter on cello, who supports the perfect quadrangle. One day, Peter, the cellist, is diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. He asks to retire at the end of the season, and the remaining members cannot hide their upset. Resentment, jealousy, rivalry, family disagreements, and infidelity. The discordant sounds begin to resonate as the emotions and conflicts that have been suppressed until then are exposed. Enclosed is a condensed version of the pamphlet and a poster of the string quartet score (A2 size).
