Love it !!
In America , we subconsciously champion a "win at all costs" lifestyle . . which is what makes The Piano Teacher such a fascinating movie. Rarely do we understand or view the dark side of perfection . . . a calculus that those who are at the top of their game in a given pursuit - are often disturbingly deficient in other facets of their life.Some reviews of The Piano Teacher mysteriously include adjectives of "gross", "despicable", etc. But they are viewing Piano Teacher through the lenses of a different genre and sanitized perspective. The Piano Teacher is not a family movie. It does not provide us with solace, conflict resolution,or a "Happy Trails are Here Again" ending.The Piano Teacher is, however, an amazing exploration of the human psyche, sexual repression, self-worth, and sado-masochsim . . all seething in a professional musical environment where perfection is expected.Very entertaining and thought-provoking .
