Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
shenli-23879 WHAT A PATHETIC WORLD WE ARE LIVING!!! CALL FOR TURE LOVE!!!!!
Kirpianuscus a film saved by its last part. because, except it, "The Piano Tuner" is only a correct film a bout a young man deceived by its failure.good performances, not bad story. the spice - a trap. changing everything. and proposing a portrait of fall and desire, revenge and destiny. the music. and the characters. the dialogue in the cafe. and the confession changing the perspective about Adrien. and the presence in the apartment of an old lady. as the presence of the price of a game who defines its precise rules.
jotix100 The awaited debut of Adrien, a young pianist on his way to fame, is a complete disaster. As he is about to perform his opening number, nerves get the best of him. Adrien freezes, failing to produce the music the audience has come to hear. Facing his inability to play in public, he decides to become a piano tuner. To add a selling point, he passes himself as blind, figuring clients will leave him alone. Adrien becomes a sort of voyeur in the many homes where he is asked to fix the family piano. Since he is blind, most people take him for granted, doing things they would not do in front of others.Thus, we watch Adrien visit different homes. A big surprise awaits him at the last home he has been called. For one thing, he keeps a booklet to record his appointments. As he rings the bell of the last apartment, he is surprised when nobody wants to open the door. He perseveres in getting an older woman to let him into the place, where to his complete amazement a crime has been committed. Adrien's only alternative is to fix the instrument, then play it as a way to distract the older woman.Conceived and directed by Oliver Treiner, "The Piano Tuner" is a different short story that is not only original, but also reveals Adrien's mind working to overcome his problem. As the young man begins to feel comfortable doing a job for which he has not trained, he gets to a situation way beyond his control. Mr. Treiner gets an intense performance from Gregoire Leprince-Ringuet, who totally dominates every aspect of the story.
Indie Friendlie We here at Indie Friendlie.com watched this clever and captivating French- language, short film and really enjoyed it.The premise: a piano tuner who pretends to be blind in order to win the sympathy of his clients and is doing well, until he witnesses a murder while on the job.This short film needs to be a feature film, and bring the cast and crew along to the bigger project for the big screen, as performances and direction were clean and on point.We are definitely looking forward to the next film from director Olivier Treiner.
