1h 47m
Directed by Jacques Audiard • 2005 • France
Starring Romain Duris, Niels Arestrup, Jonathan Zaccaï
A visceral remake of James Toback’s 1978 film FINGERS played at fever-pitch intensity, this gritty neonoir, which swept the César Awards, centers on Tom (Romain Duris), a thuggish real-estate broker who fears that he is destined to follow in the footsteps of his petty gangster father (Niels Arestrup). An unexpected chance at redemption comes along when he resumes his study of classical piano with a new teacher (Lin-Danh Pham), an immigrant who speaks no French but with whom he forges a connection through music. Can the power of art save him from himself?
