Review of The Page Turner (2006) by Blake P — 02 Jul 2012
I was disappointed by this movie, perhaps mostly because I was misled by the description of the story. It turned out it has nothing to do with "once-promising career of a professional pianist that has been tragically sidelined", but of the end of career of a mediocre music player who, as a young girl, could not concentrate enough to play her piece at the admission exam and attributed her failure to one of the board member who was signing the autograph during her audition.
Perhaps she thinks about herself as talented, that's why she behaves towards the others in the cruel, mean and jealous way. Other than that, the movie is pretty good - the production is solid, the music is beautiful and the acting is excellent.
Dà (C)borah François in her ominous tranquility reminded me a little of a young Isabelle Huppert.
