THE PIANO TEACHER

Academy Award–winning Austrian director Michael Haneke's critically acclaimed film returns to the big screen in a newly restored 2K version. THE PIANO TEACHER, which won the Grand Prix as well as dual acting awards for its stars at Cannes is a riveting study of female sexuality and the dynamics of control, an adaptation of a controversial 1983 novel by Elfriede Jelinek. Isabelle Huppert is astonishing as Erika Kohut, a woman disturbed yet consumed by her desires. Erika is a middle-aged piano professor at a Viennese conservatory who lives with her mother, in a claustrophobically codependent relationship. Severely repressed, she satisfies her masochistic urges only voyeuristically until she meets Walter (Benoît Magimel), a young student whose desire for Erika leads to a destructive infatuation that upsets the careful equilibrium of her life. Isabelle Huppert’s turn as Erika has lost none of its gut-punching torment and Haneke’s trademark charged gaze remains shocking and uncompromising.DramaPT2H11M182025-06-20
