AhDoe – Music as an International Language

Just watched a French movie called “La Pianiste” by coincidence.

You know, the first impression that this poster gave me is romantic, artistic, touching etc. The image of this leading actress resembled Holly Hunter who starred in “The Piano”. Moreover, it’s a French movie and how often do we get this chance to experience something like this in Malaysia and Singapore?

Storyline:
This movie tells the story of a highly talented piano teacher, Erika (Isabelle Huppert), who lives together with her mother in a small apartment. Their relationship is a little strange. You will see how she fought her mother and got along with her again in the next minute. I mean, it’s lunatic to me!

At school, Erika is strict and demanding towards her students. Of course, she behaved quite normal outside her apartment until….she met a handsome guy called Walter (Benoî´ Magimel), who is surprisingly talented in piano as well. To make it short, Walter expressed his interest to Erika and an unusual relationship began between them two!
