Rating: 5.0
Yowks! This is one scary woman
I've seen Isabelle Huppert in three films now, and there's something about her looks, her expression, an inner stillness that goes right down to the base of her spine - something that lets you know she's a coiled spring all set to go sprooooiiiiing! This is one scary woman. The Piano Teacher takes this woman's sexual frustration and obsession to heights of perversity and cruelty that rise to the level of masterpiece. I can't say I 'enjoyed' watching this film, but I would give it the highest recommendation on every level because of the masterly performances of all involved. It's hard to watch, but once started, you'll find it impossible NOT to watch.Five stars.
