The Piano Teacher movie trailer

The Piano Teacher  Movie Trailer (French: La Pianiste) is a 2001 film written and directed by Michael Haneke, starring Isabelle Huppert and Benoît Magimel. The film is based on the novel The Piano Teacher, by Elfriede Jelinek, who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2004Erika destroys the musical prospects of an insecure but talented girl, Anna Schober, driven by her jealousy of the girl's contact with Walter — and also, perhaps, by her fears that Anna's life will mirror her own. She does so by hiding shards of glass inside one of Anna's coat pockets, damaging her right hand and ruining her aspirations to play at the forthcoming jubilee concert. Erika then pretends to be sympathetic when the girl's mother (Susanne Lothar) asks for advice on her daughter's recuperation. (The sub-plot of the pupil and her mother, mirroring the main relationship in the film, is absent in Jelinek's novel.) In a moment of dramatic irony, the girl's mother rhetorically asks Erika who could do something so evil.
