Israel-born director Yaron Ziberman's impressive lineup for his first film -- Christopher Walken , Philip Seymour Hoffman , Catherine Keener and British star Imogen Poots -- made him an Oscar-beater ahead of launch. The film revolves around a well-known string quartet, and when it comes to its twenty-fifth anniversary, a celebration is essential. Ludwig van Beethoven 's "Late String Quartet" was chosen for the performance, but during the rehearsal, the traumas of the members' respective lives and their mutual suspicions, ambitions and contradictions erupted. The eldest member of the band, Peter (Christopher Walken), who is also one of the band's founders, was diagnosed with a degenerative disease and had to choose his replacement from the band. The orchestra's second fiddler, Robert (Philip Seymour Hoffman), was originally the most suitable candidate. His wife, Juliette (Catherine Keener), is also the band's violinist, but their marriage is on the rocks after someone cheated on him. The band's first violinist is a young, aggressive Daniel (Mark Ivanier), who competes with Robert for the top spot. Unexpectedly, however, Daniel falls in love with Robert and Juliette's daughter, the beautiful Alexandra (Imogen Poots), who is also a talented violinist.

Life is like a fugue. Ask questions, answer, flee and chase...then let go of flying! PS: Cry a pack of wet wipes! The beauty of the music is incredible!

Music conveys emotion, and music without emotion is also affected. The curtain call at the end is quite sad, the middle is old and messy
A Late Quartet quotes
-
Alexandra Gelbart: When the gates are secured, emotions are welcomed. We can all sit down ready to be swept away. It's the ideal quartet.

Alexandra Gelbart: You treat him like a doormat and he's going to start to wonder what's outside the door.
