The film with the nose: “Maestro”
Even before its release, there was excitement about Bradley Cooper’s second directorial project. His first film, “A Star is Born” with Lady Gaga, was critically acclaimed and nominated for numerous awards. His second work is again a star-studded, large-scale drama.
“Maestro” tells the life of the US star composer Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990). Last but not least, the debate about a nose prosthesis, with which Cooper wanted to look as similar as possible to Bernstein, drew attention to the film. The Netflix drama is a heartfelt homage to his person and music – but above all an emotional love story. Carey Mulligan portrays Bernstein’s wife, actress Felicia Montealegre, and is at her best as an actress. Now on Netflix.
