Erika Kohut is a pianist, teaching music. Schubert and Schumann are her forte, but she's not quite at concert level. She's approaching middle age, living with her mother who is domineering then submissive; Erika is a victim then combative. With her students she is severe. She visits a sex shop to watch DVDs; she walks a drive-in theater to stare at couples having sex. Walter is a self-assured student with some musical talent; he auditions for her class and is forthright in his attraction to her. She responds coldly then demands he let her lead. Next she changes the game with a letter, inviting him into her fantasies. How will he respond; how does sex have power over our other faculties?

Reviews

Amy Taubin
Village Voice
I found The Pianist unpleasant but, as a case study of female desire, repression, and oedipal trauma, not at all outré.

Eleanor Ringel Cater
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
This is a penetrating, deeply disturbing examination of desire and loneliness, of desperation and self-denial.

It is depressing, ruthlessly pained and depraved, the movie equivalent of staring into an open wound.
