Review of Shine (1996) by Alan R — 07 Jan 2010
The piano scenes made me weep and the Rachmaninoff was one of the most masterful, innovative musical moments I've seen in film. The film seems to focus more on Helfgott's adolescence than his adulthood which makes the Geoffrey Rush scenes almost feel like a different movie.
As a piano player I don't really find it all that surprising that the Rachmaninoff literally made the man's head explode. It could do that to anybody.
