Peter Mitchell, Daniel Lerner, Juliette Gelbart, and Robert Gelbart are a part of the renowned musical quartet known as The Fugue. On their 25th anniversary they discover troubles within their relationships with one another, and within themselves, which is causing disharmony in their music.
This film was directed by Yaron Zilberman.This film is geared more to those who enjoy listening and composing great music. The musical references are understandable to all audiences. This film's story follows these four people as if they were a pieces of music trying to find harmony within each other. The characters turmoils are very familiar to dramatic romance stories. The ending concert sequence was amazing to watch, because it told so much in just a few simple movements of music. The music is great to listen to on screen, because it adds to the telling of the story. It is also generally just good to listen to. Christopher Walken played the role of Peter Mitchell. Naturally, he was great in creating this character fighting against old age while trying to keep the group together. It is a general standard role that he brought lots of emotion to. Mark Ivanir played the role of Daniel Lerner. He created a character of control, and who could not live accordingly without it. Catherine Keener played the role of Juliette Gelbart. She created the standard role of a career driven mother. She had lots of heart in the role, but didn't do much to stand out from the rest of the cast. Philip Seymour Hoffman played the role of Robert Gelbart. He did great keeping from his general controlled chaos.
I give this film 5 out of 5 stars! It might follow a familiar story line, but the acting and the music makes it worth the watch.
