The Piano Teacher (2001) starring Isabelle Huppert, Benoit Magimel. Middle-aged piano teacher (Huppert) is a brilliant musician and very strict teacher, but in her private life she has some pretty kinky ideas about sex and love. She also lives with her mother, which makes relationships rather dicey. When a younger man (Magimel) conceives a passion for her, she accepts his advances -- but only up to a point. It's a fascinating, weird, unique film, which I don't think will be to everyone's taste. The ending kind of threw me, but otherwise I enjoyed the ride. The subtitles are good enough -- and necessary, since the film's mostly in French. Grade: B
