What to expect
The performances are part of the drama: admiration for the music need not mean agreement with its patron. That tension gives the film a reason to linger.
How to ease in
Listen to the concerts as events in the household’s struggle over status. Avoid treating them as pauses before the story resumes.
For viewers interested in music, class and the uses of beauty.
Less suitable when you need constant plot movement.
Heads-up
Contains family bereavement as well as musical performance. Choose it when you can give both the emotional drama and the music your attention.
