Sublime comedy for mature minds
Without a doubt one of the best and most refreshing films we have seen in a very long time.
Definitely fun and very funny Four Last Songs is a work of real love. I have no truck with one of the other critics here who wrote that the filming was bad - every shot is framed exquisitely, and the lighting, sound, and settings are way above average. The script sparkles with wit, farce, and poignancy - a real surprising feast.
A great set of characters living in their beautifully estranged world in the mountains of Mallorca, a wonderful set of ex-pats and a countess, a muse, a love, two pianists, two brothers - all really well written and showing top performances - honestly, my wife and I really laughed and were really moved by this - just excellent entertainment throughout.
This is not film as beer; rather it is film as wine: to be savored and enjoyed.
It is a time since we have seen a film that is geared at the over 30s that is so refreshingly funny, and so much about life.
Warmly recommended!
