 |
The Piano Teacher is a powerful and controversial new drama from the award winning filmmaker Michael Haneke. Isabelle Huppert gives a performance of astounding emotional intensity as Erika Kohut, a repressed woman of around forty who teaches piano at the Vienna Conservatory and lives with her tyrannical mother (Annie Giradot), with whom she has a volatile love-hate relationship. But when one of Erika's students, the handsome and assured Walter Klemmer (Benoit Magimel), attempts to seduce her the barriers that she has carefully erected around her claustrophobic world are shattered, unleashing the full force of her previously inhibited, extreme sexuality.
