QUATRE MAINS (FOUR HANDS) is an intimate short documentary that chronicles the profound relationship between Philippe Entremont, the legendary French classical pianist, and his 35-year-old Japanese protégé, Gen Tomuro. As Philippe, at 90, prepares to give his final concert in Paris, the film captures this emotional milestone. Together, the two pianists perform Schubert’s Fantaisie in F minor for four hands, followed by Philippe Entremont’s solo performance of Chopin’s Prelude, Op. 28: No 20 in C Minor which he chooses as his farewell piece. The film follows Philippe and Gen’s shared journey, from rehearsals at a music conservatory to personal moments in Philippe’s home — all leading up to their final performance together. It glimpses at how Entremont was mentored himself and recorded with Leonard Bernstein, and other maestros.
