In this riveting study of the dynamics of control, Academy Award–winning director Michael Haneke adapts Nobel laureate Elfriede Jelinek’s controversial novel. Isabelle Huppert stars as Erika, a piano professor at a Viennese conservatory who lives with her mother in a claustrophobically codependent relationship. Severely repressed, she satisfies her masochistic urges only voyeuristically until she meets Walter (Benoît Magimel), a student whose desire for Erika leads to a destructive infatuation. A critical breakthrough for Haneke, The Piano Teacher won the Grand Prix as well as dual acting awards for its stars at Cannes. (France, Austria, Germany, 2001, 131 mins, French | Dir. Michael Haneke)
