A lesser director would turn this premise into a thriller and while I think that would be an interesting take, it's something we've seen a thousand times before. Staying in line with the novel, Philip Haas opts for a lowkey philosophical drama that revels in the absurd — not humourously but metaphysically — shifting The Music of Chance from what would be a buddy comedy into something with more heft, a character driven affair with three acting powerhouses colliding head-on in this strange, elliptical story of fate.
