Maggie Smith Celebrates Her Diva In Poster For Dustin Hoffman’s ‘Quartet’

Dustin Hoffman’s directorial debut is QUARTET, a comedy-drama that’s set in a musically-orientated retirement home. The residents spent their days working together in old renditions of opera songs and it’s all hunky dory until one Jean Horton arrives, played by Maggie Smith who’s also centre-stage in this new poster.

In this home for the old-growing-gracefully is Reggie (Tom Courtenay), Wilf (Billy Connolly) and Cissy (Pauline Collins), who every year hold a concert to celebrate Verdi’s birthday. However, Jean is Reggie’s ex-wife and when she arrives, old-age chaos kicks off as she becomes a diva and refuses to sing in their celebratory concert.

Now, this might be leaning towards a certain type of audience but the trailer looks fun enough and with Hoffman behind the camera, we’re sure of a good story with a warm heart. Check out the poster below:

QUARTET opens in the UK on January 1st and on limited release in the USA from December 28th.
