The Piano Teacher

The Piano Teacher (La Pianiste) is a 2001 film directed by Michael Haneke, starring Isabelle Huppert and Benoit Maginel. The film, also known as The Piano Player, is based on the novel Die Klavierspielerin by Elfriede Jelinek, Nobel Prize for Literature winner in 2004.

Synopsis

Erika is a sexually repressed piano professor in Vienna who is approaching spinsterhood and lives with her mother. When a student tries to seduce her, she agrees, but on her terms. The relationship ends unhappily when she reveals her extreme masochistic desires to him, which brings the relationship to an end, but not before he has made a disgusted attempt to enact his conception of her masochistic fantasies.
