PREVIEW: A Late Quartet (15)

This week at The Cinema At Gloucester Guildhall why not check out the critically acclaimed drama A Late Quartet starring the cream of American screen talent including Academy Award winners Phillip Seymour Hoffman (Capote) and Christopher Walken (The Deer Hunter) and Academy Award nominee Catherine Keener (Being John Malkovich, Capote).

When the beloved cellist of a world-renowned string quartet receives a life changing diagnosis, the group's future suddenly hangs in the balance: suppressed emotions, competing egos, and uncontrollable passions threaten to derail years of friendship and collaboration. As they are about to play their 25th anniversary concert, quite possibly their last, only their intimate bond and the power of music can preserve their legacy.

Inspired by and structured around Beethoven's Opus 131 String Quartet in C-sharp minor, the film pays homage to chamber music and the cultural world of New York. Thanks to an outstanding ensemble cast who all lend weight and depth to the dramatic script, leaves the end result of an insightful and emotionally satisfying film.

"A movie with clarity and grownup complexity"

Peter Bradshaw- The Guardian

"Insightful and incandescent, this is a film for both music lovers and movie lovers."

Nigel Andrews- Financial Times
