The Piano Teacher

It’s a pleasure to see a film that breathes life rather than aiming to send a message. Different characters trying to grasp what is love and seeing them look at the wrong places. The Piano teacher is a heartbreaking film for the reason that it allowed characters to suffer physically for this mistake.

You're welcome, I guess not much screen time has been given for the film. I'm sure mubians would appreciate it once they see it :)

Shame

Steve Mcqueen seems to have a neck for characters who abuse their bodies to the point of self destruction. His second film explores the same grounds as he uses a sex addict to once again explore this… read review
