Wonderful character development!
Admirable film.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Blistering performances.
WHAT A PATHETIC WORLD WE ARE LIVING!!! CALL FOR TURE LOVE!!!!!
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.
If you like (classical) piano, black humour and losers with a heart, this gem will leave you wanting more... to live more.Maybe enjoying more films, listening to piano playing and or playing it yourself if you're lucky, and yes, watching out for the unmerciful meek looking stranger :)!Centered exclusively on Adrien, he's got a husky buddy not very convincing, a sort of love interest and little else. It's a limited world for a guy who's failed at something he values a lot. So he's got to pick up the pieces and start again... changing some personal information in the process :).Utterly enjoyable!
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.
