A LATE QUARTET

115 min | R
Paying homage to chamber music and the cultural world of New York City, A LATE QUARTET is the story of four world–renowned musicians, bound together by their passion for music and long years of working together. But when their beloved cellist is diagnosed with a life threatening illness, the group’s future suddenly hangs in the balance as suppressed emotions, competing egos and uncontrollable passions threaten to derail years of collaboration just as they are approaching their 25th anniversary performance. Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener, and Christopher Walken give richly nuanced performances in this eloquent and moving drama.
