The Audition (2019)
(Das Vorspiel)
Country: GER/FR
Technical: col 99m
Director: Ina Weisse
Cast: Nina Hoss, Simon Abkarian, Ilya Monti, Serafin Mishiev
Synopsis:
A violin teacher at the conservatoire argues for the adoption of a promising young player and proceeds to prepare him for the qualifying audition. However, professional insecurities and complications in her family life lead to disaster.
Review:
Not since Un coeur en hiver has the violin been the source of such richly fertile dramatic terrain, where the time and care has been taken over the performance and production of classical music to make it believable to technicians in the audience. Professional, maternal and marital ethics each come to a point of compromise in the person of Hoss's sympathetic protagonist, the actress bringing some of her rarefied and inscrutable quality from the films she made with Petzold.
