The first book I read was "Piano Teacher". I was filming in Hangzhou at the time, and I lost a copy because I was reading it while basking in the sun on the grass at the Zhejiang University campus. Maybe it's because Jelinek's writing is really not suitable for reading in the sweet sunshine. When I returned to Beijing, I bought another copy and finished it at home. Michael Heneke's film version of "Piano Teacher" hits me before the text, Isabelle's performance is so good, the visual space created by the director and the psychological space created by Isabelle just fit, so this film in any sense All just right. But after all, the movie is the reconstruction of the text, which is very different from the text itself. In the book, the female piano teacher is slightly fat, not as thin as Isabelle. In addition, the volume of the book is several times that of the movie. In the book, I see more mesh-like scattering, which can stretch the reader's mind to a place that was previously unreachable.

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?
