Review of The Piano Teacher (2001) by Pdw123 — 18 Sep 2016
Well, I had seen "Cache" from this director which held my attention all the way through, and which I loved. This is one of his earlier films which proved to be even more challenging for me, and which some prudish Americans will detest because it is a film that is obviously in the more liberal European (character driven vs.
plot driven) tradition. However, let me just say that the acting from Huppert is superb. I watched the interview with her after the film, and the transformation she underwent for this looks similar to Charlize in "Monster", truly amazing.
The story is one which is very unique and held my attention for the entire 125 minutes, which is definitely a rarity for late night film watching, especially these days. The character Huppert plays is sick obviously, but it is the process of her performance in which her character unfolds like an onion that makes for a wonderful story here, and makes the ending obvious.
