SPECIAL PREVIEW SCREENING WITH LEAD ACTRESSES MONICA BLEIBTREU AND HANNAH HERZSPRUNG ON MARCH 4th, 6.30pm

"A riveting film that defies every expectation, Four Minutes is German Cinema at its most potent and provocative." - Urbancinefile.com

"Powerful use of music ... Herzsprung tears up the screen." - Variety

Following on from the success of 'The Lives of Others' and 'The Counterfeiter's', 'Four Minutes' sees wrongfully imprisoned piano prodigy Jenny locked in a constant battle with those around her. Together with Traude, a professional musician who wants to expose Jenny's talents at a national competition, the pair plot a daring escape. ‘Four Minutes’ is a cinema tour de force that takes classical music, gritty prison drama and heartfelt performances and combines them to winning effect.

Multiple award winner Monica Bleibtreu (‘Maria’s Last Journey’, ‘The Mann Family – The Novel of a Century’) and the hotly tipped Hannah Herzsprung (Stephen Daldry's 'The Reader', 'The Baader-Meinhof Complex'), will both be attending a special preview screening and Q&A session at the Apollo West End on March 4th (tickets £12.50) before the film’s nationwide release on March 7th.
