1001 Books You Must Read [or Listen to] Before You Die, Including 'The Kreutzer Sonata'? 🎻🎹💘

The Kreutzer Sonata by Leo Tolstoy is not a book I would have ever thought I would read, but I'm glad I did listen to it being read on a free podcast I found on Apple Podcasts.

I realize now that I finished listening to it yesterday on September 9th, which just happened to be Leo Tolstoy's birthday, and that makes Leo a Virgo ironically:-)

The Kreutzer Sonata by Leo Tolstoy

I wrote about The Kreutzer Sonata in my last post where I was taking a shot at Chris Knowles' take over our (Australian) Kylie -

The Kreutzer Sonata (2008)

I've been trying to find the 2008 movie version of the book directed by Bernard Rose to watch and finally found an uploaded video of it and watched it this afternoon.

Bernard Rose was born
on August 4, 1960

And tonight, I will watch Bernard Rose's other film based on Beethoven works and starring Gary Oldman as Beethoven, 'Immortal Beloved'.

Immortal Beloved (1994)

This will be the second film starring Gary Oldman I have watched in a week, as I watched him in 'Interstate 60' on a free You Tube after listening to an old '42 Minutes' podcast episode discussing the film and a podcast where Bob Gale is interviewed by film buff Simon Brew.

In conversation with Bob Gale: the
Back To The Future trilogy and
musical, Interstate 60 and more

Interstate 60: Episodes of the Road (2002)

And that episode turns 5 years old tomorrow I see.

Director Bernard Rose

Bernard Rose seems to be a big Tolstoy fan looking through his IMDB directing credits.
And I noticed that he has directed a lot of music videos, as well.

And Bernard Rose shares August 4th as a birthday with Greta Gerwig I see, making him a Leo, ironically -
