Description

A riveting character study in the guise of a gritty underworld thriller, Jacques Audiard’s international breakthrough features an explosive performance from Romain Duris as a real-estate broker torn between the dirty dealings of his slumlord father (Niels Arestrup) and his recently rekindled love for classical piano. Can music offer salvation from a life of sin? Winner of eight César Awards, including Best Film, this bold reimagining of the New Hollywood cult classic Fingers showcases Audiard’s gift for balancing breathtaking tension with galvanic human drama.

die amis spinnen

das studio wellspring hat was neues entdeckt. anstatt einen kopierschutz einzubauen blenden die amis jetzt alle 10 minuten mit hässlichen weissen grossbuchstaben 'property of wellspring' auf den bildschirm, mitten im film. für alle filmfreaks der blanke horror. dafür gibt es abzug, der film ist fantastisch, die dvd geldverschwendung, lasst die finger davon!!
mmmhhhh...

naja, ziemlich konstruierte story, ein geldeintreiber der elektro hört und klassische musik studiert? und obendrein die alte vom freund vögelt, aber gleichzeitig in die klavierlehr... verknallt ist? naja gab schon bessere storys ehrlich wo nich so an den haaren herbeigezogen sind und dazu noch spannender!
spitze!!
