Splendid performances from Philip Seymour Hoffman, Christopher Walken and Catherine Keener meld with the timeless emotional verities of late Beethoven in A Late Quartet, a mature, satisfying saga about a venerable string ensemble. Walken, a NY music school professor and eminence grise of the Fugue Quartet, stuns his colleagues with the news that illness is about to quicken his retirement, but he may have one last season left in him – if, that is, the ongoing tensions between quartet leader Mark Ivanir and bristling second-violin Hoffman don’t get in the way first…
