THE KREUTZER SONATA (2008)
A film by Bernard Rose
Love turns to jealousy, jealousy to rage, rage to
violence
The second instalment of a planned trilogy loosely based on the
works of the great Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy, acclaimed British
director Bernard Rose (CANDYMAN) follows the remarkable
IVANS XTC with THE KREUTZER SONATA, a shocking new film
set in contemporary Hollywood that graphically emphasizes
Tolstoy’s brutally controversial views on the corrupting power of sex
and accompanying jealousy.
Featuring bold, brilliant and utterly compelling performances from
Elisabeth Röhm (Law & Order, Heroes) as the beautiful and
talented pianist Abigail, and Danny Huston (X Men: Wolverine, The
Proposition), as the wealthy philanthropist and enraged husband
Edgar, who is consumed by feelings of carnal desire and violent
jealousy, the KREUTZER SONATA explores the rich complexities
of love, sex, obsession and paranoia in a raw, emotionally and sexually charged thriller.
WARNING: Contains strong bloody violence and strong sex
“savage tale of erotic obsession”
