The Piano Teacher
Erika Kohut teaches piano at the Conservatory in Vienna. In her early forties, she lives cooped up with her mother. Her sexuality is an affair of morbid voyeurism and masochistic self-mutilation. Erika and life travel separate paths. Until one day, one of her students gets it into his head to seduce her.

A film of Artaudian cruelty, and a boundary-breaker in the cinema's exploration of its own erotic and artisanal id.

If genital mutilation, rape, incest and twisted acts of sexual gratification are your thing, then this is the film for you. Any takers?

A striking, brilliant film with extraordinary performances -- and Huppert's acting is heartrending.

[Isabelle Huppert] outdoes herself.
February 10, 2010
[Huppert gives] the single finest performance I have ever seen her give, and therefore almost by default one of the best of the decade.

It's a harrowing, difficult film that's only for the most adventurous art-house movie fans.

It is depressing, ruthlessly pained and depraved, the movie equivalent of staring into an open wound.

A revolting and shocking work devoid of redemption and purpose.

Is like The Graduate remade by David Lynch; it's no picnic to watch, but you can't look away.

A gripping psychological thriller that, while lacking the power of Funny Games, is still the work of a master.

This is a penetrating, deeply disturbing examination of desire and loneliness, of desperation and self-denial.
