Quartet
Lo:
Elderly people are definitely funny!
If you have seen 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel', you will love this film. I you have not, you will love this film. It has basically the same starting point - elderly people in a retirement house- but dealt in a completely different way.
This one happens in a retirement house for singers and musicians. These musicians and singers have to present a show at the end of the film in order to keep the house open. But a new character arrives and some won't be as happy as others. This new character played by Maggie Smith is a great and capricious singer who was once married with one of the main male characters and do not want to sing with him again. And all along the film we are wondering she will or if she will not sing.
Wonderful movie directed by the great Dustin Hoffman. A tremendous actor who succeeded in doing one of the most beautiful and poetic film of the beginning of this year.
The actors are all great and make us laugh. Maggie Smith put a smile on our face every time she starts to speak. Billy Connelly is just marvelously funny. Tom Courtenet is charming. And Michael Gambon is as despicable as ever.
You will laugh. You will cry. You will be moved. You will listen to good music. In one word: Go!
