THE PIANO TEACHER is a powerful
and controversial new drama from the
award winning filmmaker Michael
Haneke.
Isabelle Huppert gives a performance
of astounding emotional intensity as Erika
Kohut, a repressed woman in her late
thirties who teaches piano at the Vienna
Conservatory and lives with her tyran-
nical mother (Annie Girardot), with
whom she has a volatile love-hate
relationship.

But when one of Erika's students, the handsome and assured Walter Klemmer (Benoît Magimel),
attempts to seduce her, the barriers that she has carefully erected around her claustrophobic
world are shattered, unleashing a previously inhibited extreme and uncontrollable desire.
