Maestro (15)
Dir. Bradley Cooper, US, 2023, 129 mins. Cast. Bradley Cooper, Carey Mulligan, Maya Hawke, Matt Bomer, Sarah Silverman.
Bradley Cooper proves that his directorial debut (A Star is Born) was no fluke with this glorious symphony of a film that focuses on iconic American composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein (West Side Story, On The Town). The film charts his life from his famous last-minute debut with the New York Philharmonic aged 25 through his relationship with actress Felicia Montealegre who he would go on to marry. It is the story of a marriage and life between two people, one of whom is a devoted family man but still energised by his attraction to men during a period when it would have destroyed his career.
Switching between monochrome and colour, it is a rousing, complex and heart-breaking rhapsody to life and art.
