The film is based on the 1997 biography of Jacqueline Mary du Pré ’s sister Hilary and his younger brother Pierce co-authored "Crazy Love for the Cello." An embarrassing and even shocking life, the book reveals many stories behind the stage that is little known and even thrilling.
This book is not just a biography of a musician. In a sense, it is more like an unsolvable question about human nature, about success, and about family. The authors of the two biographies have always been indispensable roles in Jackie's life. It is conceivable that their own lives are also closely entangled with this period of sorrow and joy, and they are inseparable from each other. In Hillary's words, Jacqueline is a powerful and irresistible tide. From the first day of her inspiration, the whole family has been carried forward by this tide, becoming more and more powerless.
The story is true, and its inherent dramatic tension is not necessarily lost to any novel, so "Crazy Love on Cello" was a big hit as soon as it came out, and it was quickly made into a movie.
