The Kreutzer Sonata - Trailer

Director Bernard Rose here revisits the formula that made Ivansxtc (2000) such a critical hit: script based on Tolstoy, mighty lead performance courtesy of Danny Huston. Huston plays a wealthy philanthropist who becomes maniacally possessive of his beautiful musician wife. Based on a story that Tolstoy wrote in response to the titular Beethoven work, this is a gripping, grown-up dissection of a modern marriage, also featuring a charismatic cameo by the great Anjelica Huston.

I could sense this and it scared me. They played Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata. My imagination began to paint for me. Rapid sequence of pictures, the more I contemplated these pictures, the more I believed they were real. I've been told a lie, all of us. We've been told sex is good, sex is fun, sex is what you need. Look into my soul the devils tearing it apart, now tell me it's all so wonderful".

You know the way it happens sometimes it's like an electric shock goes through you and you wake up. My head was full of thoughts about her, about him. The violinist. This man's presence drove me out of my mind. I should have made sure I never set eyes on him again. But that was like saying I was afraid of him so I introduced him to my wife. She had grown as pretty as the last ray of summer. She was 35 years old and the full flower of her womanhood.

Alzugam is correct. The Russian film adaptation was terrific. Too bad the same can't be said for this. I saw it last night and my only thought as the credits rolled was "That's 99 minutes I'll never get back." The praise for Danny Huston - at least in terms of this film - is totally lost on me. I found him to be all but unwatchable in this role. Thirty minutes in to the film, his character's incessant, intrusive narration had killed what little interest I had left. Don't waste your time on this.
