Set in a small Czech town, this charming relationship dramedy follows a quartet of string players who rehearse contemporary music together. Womanizer Tomáš has his eye on flighty cellist Simona, even though she lives with the introverted Robert. Meanwhile, history buff Funés refuses to date the opposite sex, believing he would either disappoint or be disappointed. The Quartette displays a wise and sly look at sex and attraction.

Miroslav Krobot and Lubomír Smékal use some kind of deformed filmic language which either I simply don’t understand, or doesn’t offer anything interesting at all. The attempt at black humour ends up as plain awkward. The Quartette feels like it is supposed to turn the viewers into the same soulless zombies as its main characters. Personally, I’m not willing to take part in this ‘game’ and I really don’t see the slightest reason why anyone would make, watch or promote this dumb film.

There are not many films that portray Olomouc so charmingly. And Olomouc is beautiful. I am glad that this work by Krobot is so different from his debut. After all, there's nothing wrong with trying to understand today's thirty-somethings.

I'm giving the Quartette four stars and now I feel like an outcast, but never mind. The film doesn't deal with any big issues, it’s about relationships between completely ordinary people. The pacing is slow, the action practically nonexistent, yet it isn’t boring, and the spare dialogue is hilarious. Plus, Funés the introvert immediately won me over. He was absolutely perfect. And it’s probably the first time I’ve seen Lenka Krobotová out of her typecast role.
