EL ÚLTIMO CONCIERTO (A Late Quartet) EL ÚLTIMO CONCIERTO (A late quartet) DIR. YARON ZILBERMAN SINOPSIS Tras 25 años cosechando éxitos y gozando de fama mundial, el futuro de un cuarteto de cuerda de Nueva York está a punto de recibir un duro golpe que pondrá en en- tredicho su futuro. El violonchelista de la formación está padeciendo los primeros síntomas de una enfermedad que en poco tiempo pondrá fin a su carrera como intérprete. La incertidumbre sobre su futuro se apoderará del cuar- teto, dando rienda suelta a emociones reprimidas, egoís- mos y reproches que pondrán en entredicho años de amis- tad y colaboración profesional. La vida siempre da una segunda oportunidad, por lo que encontrarán una solución que les permitirá ofrecer “El último concierto” (para conmemorar sus 25 años como formación), poniendo a salvo tanto su amistad como su inmenso y reconocido legado musical.

La película está protagonizada por Philip Seymour Hoffman, Christopher Walken, Catherine Keener, Mark Ivanir, e Imogen Poots. Yaron colaboró con el director de fotografía Fred Elmes (Blue Velvet, La tormenta de hielo, Flores rotas), el compositor Angelo Badalamenti (Mullholland Drive), el montador Yuval Shar (Watermarks) y el dinámico cuarteto de cuerda Brentano para lograr la visión artística que deseaba para “El último concierto”. “El último concierto” es la segunda película de Yaron, tras el galardonado documental “Watermarks”, coproducido por HBO y ARTE, ha sido un éxito en su estreno en EE.UU. e internacionalmente. El documental se centra en las nadadoras campeonas del legendario club deportivo judío Hakoah Vienna, a las que reúne a sus ochenta años para que vuelvan a nadar juntas en la ciudad que se vieron obligadas a abandonar 65 años antes, cuando los nazis invadieron Austria. “Wa- termarks” ganó varios premios internacionales, entre los que están los de los Festivales de Cine Internacional de Palm Springs, la Viennale, Jerusalem, y París.

  • Mark Ivanir | Biography
    MARK IVANIR | BIOGRAPHY Mark Ivanir has been working as a professional film and television actor in Los Angeles since 2001. His first major film role was in Steven Spielberg's 1993 Oscar winning epic SCHINDLER'S LIST. He rejoined with Spielberg twice, first for a cameo appearance in TERMINAL, then again for THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN. A pivotal role in Robert De Niro's 2006 film, THE GOOD SHEPHERD, landed Mark a role in Barry Levinson's WHAT JUST HAPPENED, this time acting alongside De Niro. Many films followed. Mark has booked over 35 Guest Star and Guest Lead roles on television. Ivanir's road to Hollywood was circuitous at best. Born in the communist Ukraine, he immigrated to Israel with his family in 1972. After being cast by Spielberg in SCHINDLER'S LIST, Ivanir moved to London to study with Philippe Gaulier and the actors of the Theater De Complicite. During this stint, he landed roles in THE MAN WHO CRIED (with Johnny Depp) and SECRET AFFAIR which encouraged him to relocate to Hollywood. Ever since, Mark has been working on films in the US, in Europe and in Israel. In Germany he has been working with Dennis Gansel on THE FOURTH STATE and with Dominik Graf on the highly acclaimed mini-series IN THE FACE OF THE CRIME. In Europe, Mark was also working with Fernando Meirelles on his episodic feature film 360. Most recently, Mark co-starred alongside Catherine Keener, Philipp Seymour Hoffman and Christopher Walken in A LATE QUARTET. Mark currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two daughters.

Rushdie’s inspired adaptation of his own Booker Prize–winning novel follows the destinies of a pair of children born at the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947, the very instant that India claimed its independence from Great Britain—and which, in Rushdie’s brilliant magic realist conceit, endows the children born on the same night as their country’s liberation with supernatural abilities ranging from flight to invisibility, with those born closest to midnight possessing the most powerful gift. “Handcuffed to history,” and switched at birth by a nurse in a Bombay hospital, Saleem Sinai (Satya Bhabha), the son of a poor single mother, and Shiva (Siddharth), scion of a wealthy family, are condemned to live out the fate intended for the other.

  • The Critical and Artistic Reception of Beethoven's
    THE CRITICAL AND ARTISTIC RECEPTION OF BEETHOVEN’S STRING QUARTET IN C♯ MINOR, OP. 131 Megan Ross A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2019 Approved by: Mark Evan Bonds Tim Carter Annegret Fauser Aaron Harcus Mark Katz ©2019 Megan Ross ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Megan Ross: The Critical and Artistic Reception of Beethoven’s String Quartet in C♯-Minor, Op. 131 (Under the direction of Mark Evan Bonds) Long viewed as the unfortunate products of a deaf composer, Ludwig van Beethoven’s “late” works are now widely regarded as the pinnacle of his oeuvre. While the reception of this music is often studied from the perspective of multiple works, my dissertation offers a different perspective by examining in detail the critical and artistic reception of a single late work, the String Quartet in C♯ minor, Op. 131. Critics have generally agreed that the string quartets best exemplify the composer’s late style, and that of these, Op. 131 stands out as the paradigmatic late quartet. I argue that this is because Op. 131 exhibits the greatest concentration of features typically associated with the late style. It is formally unconventional, with seven movements of grotesquely different proportions, to be played continuously, without a pause, as if to insist on the unity of the whole. It conspicuously avoids a sonata-form movement until its finale, opening instead with an extended fugue; the sonata-form finale, in turn, quotes from the fugue, again reinforcing the notion of formal wholeness.
