A Late Quartet

Friday, December 07, 2012 7:15 p.m.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Christopher Walken star in this drama about a world-renowned string quartet who struggles to stay together in the face of death, competing egos and insuppressible lust.



The film tells the story of a beloved cellist of a world-renowned string quartet who 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, "A Late Quartet" pays homage to chamber music and the cultural world of New York.
