The Sonata

France2018 88min Color Asian Premiere

Synopsis

A young violinist discovers her recently deceased father’s final work – a mysterious musical score that reveals secrets of his past life and unleashes terrifying dark forces.

Program Note

A stylish directorial debut by UK’s Andrew Desmond, this subtle mystery-thriller effectively combines the elements of ‘music’ and ‘demon’ to create convincing chills. Outstanding performances feature Freya Tingley as a sleuthing virtuoso violist Rose, Simon Akbarian as her manager Charles and Rutger Hauer as Rose’s ever-macabre, dead composer extraordinaire father Richard Marlow.
