"The Piano Teacher" is an eye-opening portrayal of obsessive sexuality. Isabelle Huppert plays a middle-aged piano teacher who lives with her domineering mother. Her hermetic world is thrown upside down when she becomes acquainted with a young male student. Their love story, doomed from the beginning, never leads to happiness, but pain and suffering.
