Summary
Kreutzer Sonata is a 2008 drama-romance film directed by Bernard Rose, based on Leo Tolstoy's novel with music by Ludwig van Beethoven. The movie explores themes of jealousy, obsession, and the destructive power of uncommunicated emotions. It follows Edgar Hudson, who becomes increasingly paranoid about his wife Abby's relationship with their musical collaborator Aiden. While the plot primarily focuses on Edgar's descent into jealousy-driven madness, it also touches upon Abby's struggle to balance her passion for music with her responsibilities as a mother and wife.
