The movie surprised me a bit, to be honest. Of course, it is shot perfectly, as always, a very thoughtful musical accompaniment, excellent actors play (and play well). What's the movie about? Youth? Old age? Or simply about life and how people in it relate to each other, how they perceive the actions and words of those who live with them, how different is self-perception from the perception of you by loved ones and simply others, how stereotypes of perception dominate people, what we tell friends, and what actually happens in our lives. The film is a kind of dialogue between two friends, their friendship is 60 years old, and this dialogue they apparently lead a lifetime, however, as it turns out, they tell events from their lives very approximately - "We tell good friends only about the good." One of the friends is a composer and conductor (Michael Kane), who is completely retired and categorically refuses to perform for personal reasons that become clear during the film, his works even at the request of the Queen, the second is the once famous director (Harvey Keitel), who is going to make a film-will under the very pretentious title “The Last Day of My Life”. But after the events that so quietly, but tragically, invade their lives, in which everything seems to have been planned in advance and should go according to plan, everything will go very differently. All this planning is very fragile, and people do not treat each other very carefully. And the whole benevolent construction of this rather boring existence is collapsing against the backdrop of the beautiful nature of Switzerland, but the director almost does not hurt the hearts of the audience by contemplating the tragedy.
