Je comprends pourquoi ce film continue de captiver les cinéphiles. Même 20 ans après sa réalisation, il continue de faire bande à part et demeure un inclassable du cinéma français. C’est moins l’éclectisme des genres et des registres (Tarantino te voilà?) que le talent des acteurs et des actrices qui me touche personnellement. Ainsi on cesse de parler ‘plans séquences’ et ‘caméra épaule’ pour contempler, sinon redécouvrir, le brio de chacun des acteurs. On est vraisemblablement tombé sur la définition exacte de ce qu’est un casting 5 étoiles.
Synopsis
A ruthless real estate agent discovers a passion for piano and auditions with help from a young virtuoso, but the pressures of his corrupt career threaten to derail his musical aspirations.
