Starring Romain Duris (Tom), Aure Atika (Aline), Emmanuelle Devos (Chris), Linh Dan Pham (Miao-Lin). 107 min. A Celluloid Dreams release with German subtitles. Viewed at Urania, Berlin Film Festival (Competition), 18 Feb 2005. A grungy, edgy take on James Toback's story where a brutal character from the milieu of crime establishes himself as a pianist. The fifth film as a director of Jacques Audiard, the son of the top screenwriter. I saw the first half only.
