My wife says it got good reviews. In fact, it turns out to be one of the most subtly acted and directed love stories this side of David Lean’s Brief Encounter (1945) and Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise (1995).
Princeton University Summer Chamber Concerts closed is 2010 season last Tuesday night with a return to the classicsóthe well-established Leipzig String Quartet delved into the monumental chamber music composers Haydn, Webern and Beethoven.
