The real piano teacher in the absurd

Best Actress at Cannes.
Not to mention, Isabelle Huppert's acting skills are really superb.
Zero expression, but so real.
Even if she is crazy, is this handsome, affectionate at first, cruel at the end more selfish?
Can't love her respectfully even if she's crazy?
Men and women must have very different positions watching the film.
The letter, the mother-daughter scene, on the ice rink, the fight scene, the final decision.
The process is so natural.
Both the hero and heroine speak French beautifully and indifferently.
I couldn't help thinking of my own mother.
All in an instant.

    The pinnacle of Hupel's acting.

    Rewatch. Whether sex is more physical or spiritual, or whether imaginary passions are more reducing, this is what I thought before. Now I can also see the relationship between the two structures: the woman tries to overpower the man with her behavior, and the man gets into the unequal power relationship between teachers and students, and wants to subvert them together to reverse their status. The three scenes progressed step by step. The woman played and challenged Phileas, but was actually controlled by him and did not really win for a moment. Huppert's acting skills are amazing, and the more he sees it, the more he loves it.

The Piano Teacher quotes

  • Walter Klemmer: [reading the teacher's letter] "On the contrary, if I beg, tighten my bonds, please. Adjust the belt by at least 2 or 3 holes. The tighter the better. Then, gag me with some stockings I will have ready. Stuff them in so hard that I'm incapable of making any sound. Next, take off the blindfold, please, and sit down on my face and punch me in the stomach to force me to thrust my tongue in your behind." Is this supposed to be serious? You're making fun of me, aren't you? You want a slap?

  • Walter Klemmer: Just then, I was under your window and I was jerking off. That's what you want, huh? You want to...

    [making obscene signs]

    Walter Klemmer: is that it? You're a witch, a pervert! You want to give everyone your illness, don't you? Not me!

    Erika Kohut: I did apologise.

    Walter Klemmer: Fuck your stupid apologies!
