Quartet seems to be the title of the moment, as that’s the name of Dustin Hoffman’s directorial debut, and there’s also A Late Quartet, which has just debuted its first trailer. The film follows four members of a world-renowned string quartet who struggle to stay together in the face of death, competing egos and insuppressible lust. Christopher Walken is a man dealing with a Parkinson’s diagnosis, Philip Seymour Hoffman wants to move forward with his career, while Imogen Poots has issues with her mother (Catherine Keener).
