(LE CHOIX DU PIANISTE)
2024, Jacques Otmezguine, France
With Oscar Lesage, Pia Lagrange
A young pianist’s prodigious talent sets a conflicted course in this meticulously crafted drama that unfolds before, during and after WWII. A German brother and sister suffer under the iron-willed control of their wealthy father, who seeks to crush the musical dreams of son Francois, who finds all his passions in life reciprocated in the arms of his Jewish piano teacher Rachel. Fame comes with liabilities when Francois is forced to perform in Germany, striking a deal with the devil in the effort to save the woman he loves, while his sister becomes a Nazi collaborator. Yet another woman emerges to lovingly influence the disgraced virtuoso’s future as he attempts to reclaim his reputation after the war.
“A work of art to be discovered and soaked up like a historical album brimming with secrets, incredible wounds and conflicting passions.”–CNEWS
