neutral · AI labelView post →Every day I watch Michael Haneke's The Piano Teacher. I watch it with my morning coffee and breakfast. Haters say "WATCH OTHER MEDIA WATCH A REAL MOVIE LIKE MANDALORIAN & GROGU BE AN ADULT" but i dont understand why i can't just watch Benoit Magimel getting jerked off in peace
positive · AI labelView post →A week of (mostly) Isabelle Huppert. After a revisit of THE PIANO TEACHER, I was reminded just how brilliant Huppert is. Hadn’t seen that film in 24 years. Just magnificent. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #FilmSky
positive · AI labelView post →Incredible French actress Isabelle Huppert celebrates birthday, 3/16/1953. Featured ELLE in my Fearless Performance series (see below). Could also pick THE PIANO TEACHER (2001). Combative relationship with mom, dangerous sexual assignations, Huppert is cold, daring, uncompromising! #filmsky 📽🎥🎬🎞

neutral · AI labelView post →Genuinely my favorite bit in any movie from 2025. Granted, The Piano Teacher is in my top 10 all time, so I’m biased.
positive · AI labelView post →I watched The Piano Teacher (2001) last night which is the most anti-twink movie of all time
negative · AI labelView post →#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched The Piano Teacher - I understand why it's considered a great movie, and Huppert is amazing in it, but Haneke is not for me. Strange Voyage - I enjoyed this weird 60s Spanish dark comedy co-starring a young and adorable Jess Franco. 1/2

neutral · AI labelView post →Sentimental Value Joachim Trier 2025 Norway Just gorgeous. Top tier performances all around. Also, a man giving a 9 year old Irreversible and The Piano Teacher as birthday gifts is fucking hysterical.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched The Piano Teacher with the yugakulings because we were told that the MC has a lot of Yugamu-isms and 1) It is true 2) God the movie is so good but it also broke smth in me I feel so sad, everyone deserves to be loved 😭😭😭😭 It’s been a while since I watched a film that made me so distressed

Children of Men 6. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 7. Mulholland Drive 8. Melancholia 9. Roma 10. The Lives of Others
positive · AI labelView post →The movie acts like it’s the classic playboy/bookish romcom setup (but with the woman as the playboy), but in reality it somehow resembles The Piano Teacher more than Pillow Talk, and I couldn’t understand why the movie was like “she just needs a good talking to by a good man!”
neutral · AI labelView post →I was surprised to see the brilliant but deeply disturbing 2001 Michael Haneke film ‘The Piano Teacher’ available free of charge on YouTube. It features Isabelle Huppert at her very best. Not to be missed - if you can take it.
positive · AI labelView post →First film out: "The Piano Teacher" Aka. La Pianiste (2001)
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatching Haneke’s The Piano Teacher because I seem to enjoy suffering. I spent a few years on piano, but my main musical focus was the violin. The intensity of studying classical music is well depicted in this film; and freakishly my violin teacher looked a lot like Isabelle Huppert’s character.

neutral · AI labelView post →Yeah we could curate a No-Show Film festival full of films people are happy just to let fade as cherished or other wise memories . Mine would include Blue Velvet , The Piano Teacher and possibly Sunshine . The festival would be, just the idea of them
neutral · AI labelView post →Isabelle Huppert was not eligible to earn an Oscar nomination for The Piano Teacher when the film was released in the U.S. in 2002. Do you think she deserved a nomination (if she were eligible)? Would you have voted for her to win?

neutral · AI labelView post →time for more international film recommendations! first, THE PIANO TEACHER (France/Austria) First time I’d seen this in a while and it lets me do a weird lore drop (possibly not words you ever want to hear in association with The Piano Teacher but it is benign)

neutral · AI labelView post →I recently read Jelinek's The Piano Teacher and it really cemented in my mind that Haneke's Piano Teacher is the perfect movie. I think the original story is great but it's really easy to undersell how subtle the acting is. I imagine those stage directions were impossible to make sense of
positive · AI labelView post →God forbid a girl has a kink 💋 💅 My ★★★★ review of The Piano Teacher on Letterboxd boxd.it/8RdCHT
positive · AI labelView post →Haven't been updating the thread, frankly bc I haven't been up to writing the same level of alt text, but I've kept my streak going with Chris's help! Last four films: Beverly Hills Cop (1984), All Monsters Attack (1969), Peeping Tom (1960), and The Piano Teacher (2001)
neutral · AI labelView post →"...The Piano Teacher, this film is so incredible because it's so daring. I mean, talk about dysfunction. I love dysfunction because I came from a dysfunctional family, thank god, because I think the most interesting people I've met in my life all come from very dysfunctional families..."
neutral · AI labelView post →22. The Piano Teacher – Elfriede Jelinek It is hard to describe how brutally alienating the prose is: cubist like objectivity. The film cannot come close to the experience, as good as Haneke is. When I worked in a bookshop someone once asked on Valentine’s Day if it was a romantic book – in a way…
neutral · AI labelView post →Maggie Gyllenhaal (Lee in Secretary) played the dark and disturbing titular role in The Piano Teacher. James Spader (Mr. Grey) was in a movie called "Crash" (1996) about a guy who survives a car crash and then joins a group of symphorophiliacs , people who are aroused by car crashes.
neutral · AI labelView post →Still laughing over the part in Sentimental Value where the film director grandfather gave the 9 year old grandson copies of The Piano Teacher and Irreversible.
neutral · AI labelView post →No, not at all. I meant to be! 🤣 Great suggestion with Amelie. Imagine trying to get into foreign-language film and starting with The Piano Teacher 😆🤦♂️🎬
neutral · AI labelView post →Psych! THERE IS NO PLOT! Instead we get ponderings and meanderings, interspersed with odds bits of writing (she is a published writer), and the text of a talk about the film The Piano Teacher. We are invited to make sense of this, because the book doesn't; it is, thankfully, a worthwhile proposal.
neutral · AI labelView post →...I have the Piano Teacher as a comfort film
positive · AI labelView post →After Hours is really fun and Thelma and Louise is a great film. I am also guilty of buying movies and not opening them 🫣 My fav Criterions are Mulholland Dr., Beauty & The Beast, The Piano Teacher and All of Us Strangers.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Piano Teacher is a riveting and harrowing watch, so far my favourite Michael Haneke film. It features an incredible performance from its main lead, the great Isabelle Huppert. A complex and fascinating character that she plays superbly. A very dark look at desire and affection. #filmsky #cinema

neutral · AI labelView post →Ugh. Trying to watch The Piano Teacher, but had to turn it off because the soundtrack doesn’t sync with the actor’s fingers AT ALL. It’s like trying to make a movie about the Tour de France and casting actors who can’t ride a bike.
negative · AI labelView post →boxd.it/8uqKAl Even though I haven’t loved every movie Isabelle Huppert is in, I always love her performance. I reviewed The Piano Teacher on Letterboxd.
positive · AI labelView post →Finally watched The Piano Teacher, which is staggering btw. Isabelle Huppert is a once in a generation talent, and the film's lingering camera grants the audience time to fully absorb the range of emotions she can convey with just a single microexpression. Such an arresting movie. That final shot🤌
positive · AI labelView post →She really makes it all work incredibly well I really need to watch THE PIANO TEACHER soon, had it on my radar ever since I really got into film but just haven't gotten around to watching it yet
neutral · AI labelView post →“Huppert's performance in THE BITCH is incredibly strong and of a similar caliber to her roles in THE PIANO TEACHER or ELLE. As the premise of the film is so provocative, it's crucial to have such a fascinating character at the heart of it.”
