WHAT A PATHETIC WORLD WE ARE LIVING!!! CALL FOR TURE LOVE!!!!!

a film saved by its last part. because, except it, "The Piano Tuner" is only a correct film a bout a young man deceived by its failure.good performances, not bad story. the spice - a trap. changing everything. and proposing a portrait of fall and desire, revenge and destiny. the music. and the characters. the dialogue in the cafe. and the confession changing the perspective about Adrien. and the presence in the apartment of an old lady. as the presence of the price of a game who defines its precise rules.

"L'accordeur" or "The Piano Tuner" is a French 14-minute short film from over 5 years ago written and directed by Olivier Treiner. It is one of 2 short films he has made and looking at how many awards it won, this is certainly his most successful work so far. Will he make it big in the next years? We'll see. As for this one here, we have a child prodigy piano player who fails at an important even and decides to act as a blind man then and work as a piano tuner. So far, it does not sound very realistic, so Treiner definitely could have done a better job with the story I guess. But thanks to the decent second half, this one here is not a failure, but a solid watch. The murder plot elevates the story by so so much and actually changes this film sufficiently to the positive that I recommend it. Thumbs down. No real greatness, but a decent little movie. This description also fits the acting in here. Make sure you get subtitles if you aren't fluent in French.

If you like (classical) piano, black humour and losers with a heart, this gem will leave you wanting more... to live more.Maybe enjoying more films, listening to piano playing and or playing it yourself if you're lucky, and yes, watching out for the unmerciful meek looking stranger :)!Centered exclusively on Adrien, he's got a husky buddy not very convincing, a sort of love interest and little else. It's a limited world for a guy who's failed at something he values a lot. So he's got to pick up the pieces and start again... changing some personal information in the process :).Utterly enjoyable!
