To be sick, to be cured, to be the second chair violinist, to love, to be loved, to compromise, to be old and to be younger...... All the simplest topics of life in the most complex way. A Late Quartet presents them so deeply and elegantly. Bringing the music as an element to the movie adds even much more textures to the topics.
Outstanding performances, especially Philip Seymour Hoffman's. He holds and unleashes the emotion just on the right tone. Not too much but enough to astonish you.
Christopher Walken's line "Beethoven's Opus 131 attacca without a pause. I need a pause." is very witty and philosophical. How beautiful the plot is as well as Beethoven's creation.
