The Pianist
by Michael Haneke
France, Austria, Germany · 2001 · Drama · 2h11 · Restored digital copy

Erika Kohut is a piano teacher at the Vienna Conservatory. At age 40, she lives with her mother, whose influence she can only escape through regular visits to porn movie theaters and peep shows. Her sexuality is an exercise in morbid voyeurism and masochistic self-mutilation. Erika lives in a world of her own—until the day one of her students decides to seduce her. As captivating as it is unsettling, The Pianist is a study of power dynamics and control, and one of Michael Haneke’s most acclaimed films.

with Isabelle Huppert, Annie Girardot, Benoît Magimel
