Thankfully, 'Maestro' is not your typical biopic, despite what the trailer might have you think.
If you’re expecting to walk out of Maestro with an in-depth look into how Leonard Bernstein developed his immense talent for composing, you will be disappointed. Bradley Cooper’s second directorial effort does not dive deep into the inner workings of the mind of one of the greatest musicians of all time. We don’t see him translating the sound of his mother’s humming into a score when he’s a child.
Then, against one of Bernstein’s grand, loud scores, we meet Felicia , just as Leonard does. Their eyes meet across the room at a party, and then they are sharing secrets in a tight corner of the room — the world entirely theirs. They fall in love immediately, him praising her talents on stage while she reassures him that scores for film and musicals are real music — something he has difficulty accepting despite his love for this area of music.
There are times when it's stupefying that this is only Cooper’s second film as director. Right from the very first second, his lighting and angle choices are pointedly appropriate for what’s happening in that scene.
