It is set in London, and directed by Andrei Konchalovsky. The story was, at the time of the premiere of the play, assumed to be based on the life of cellist Jacqueline du Pré, who was diagnosed with MS, and her husband, conductor Daniel Barenboim, but Kempinski has stated that the subject of the play was a cathartic explosion of his own anxieties and depression. ## Credits - **Director:** [Andrei Konchalovsky](https://cinepixo.com/people/andrei-konchalovsky) - **Screenplay:** [Andrei Konchalovsky](https://cinepixo.com/people/andrei-konchalovsky) - **Original Music Composer:** [Michael Bishop](https://cinepixo.com/people/michael-bishop) - **Producer:** [Yoram Globus](https://cinepixo.com/people/yoram-globus) - **Director of Photography:** [Alex Thomson](https://cinepixo.com/people/alex-thomson) ## Cast - [Macha Méril](https://cinepixo.com/people/macha-meril) - [Alan Bates](https://cinepixo.com/people/alan-bates) - [Rupert Everett](https://cinepixo.com/people/rupert-everett) - [Margaret Courtenay](https://cinepixo.com/people/margaret-courtenay) - [Max von Sydow](https://cinepixo.com/people/max-von-sydow) - [Julie Andrews](https://cinepixo.com/people/julie-andrews) - [Liam Neeson](https://cinepixo.com/people/liam-neeson) as Totter ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
