Movie Reviews of Four Last Songs
Movie Review: A Real Little Gem
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a real, little gem and has become one of my favourites! It is therefore quite disappointing that BBC Films as the producer hasn't been released it in Europe so far.
The story revolves around Larry (Stanley Tucci), a mediocre and chronically unsatisfied musician who has settled in the ex-pat community of a remote island village in the Mediterranean. Despite being tiny, the village is also famous for having been the home of a celebrated European composer. Although Larry initially hoped to absorb some of the dead man's glory, his modest talents have instead confined him to playing the piano in a local bar.
In a last effort to make his mark, Larry convinces the composer's widow (Marisa Paredes) to allow him staging a gala concert as tribute to the composer. However, his plans are increasingly put into jeopardy by the embittered widow's jealousy towards her husband's muse (Emmanuelle Seigner), who possesses the partiture of the master's unpublished last work, by his own neurotically jealous partner (Jessica Stevenson), by Sebastian (Hugh Bonneville), a social-climbing Englishman, and his anarchistic younger brother Dickie (Rhys Ifans) as well as by the hired arrogant star pianist's (Karl Johnson) attitudes and behaviour.
But all those troubles are eclipsed by the unexpected arrival of Larry's own stubborn and streetwise daughter Frankie (Jena Malone), who - as the unwanted result of a one-night stand - has been tracking him down for most of her life and won't take any rejection for an answer anymore. Thus, Larry must learn for the first time in his life to balance all the harmonies and deliver his own masterpiece.
The film lives from a strong ensemble cast performance, of which in particular Stanley Tucci, Rhys Ifans and Jena Malone stand out. Those who enjoyed movies like "Little Miss Sunshine", "The Devils wears Prada", "The Edukators", "The Miracle of Bern", "Life as a House" or "Big Fish" will love this movie as well. Highly recommended!!!
