Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Piscicelli was a key figure in 1980s Italian independent cinema; Quartet marked his late-career return to female-centered narratives after years of obscurity.
The 0.5 TMDB rating reflects near-total obscurity, not quality — the film barely circulated outside festival circuits and Italian television.
