The Fugue, a string quartet of 3 men and 1 woman, has been
together for 25 years. They play well together; two are married to each other
with a college-aged daughter. Christopher Walken is wonderful as the cellist
who, for health reasons wants to leave the quartet. Philip Seymour Hoffman is
tired of playing second violin and wants to play first violin, his wife thinks
he should leave well enough alone. Drama ensues as they all face their own
midlife crises, and have to decide if the sum of the parts is greater than
their individual selves. Are they professional musicians in a quartet, or
soloists? Note, this is not related
to the movie Quartet, in any way, other than both play marvelous classical
music. A beautiful movie, well worth your time.
