Description
Thirty-year-old pianist Erika Kohut. Her relationships with music—which has sucked all the strength out of her—her domineering mother, whose career ambitions she couldn’t fulfill, and her pupil at the conservatory where she works as a teacher—all of it is permeated with violence and aggression. It turns out that love can take the form of cruel perversion, and refined musical culture can grow from the same mental anomalies, manias, and phobias as the quiet madness of the most ordinary citizens in a modern prosperous society. The novel “The Piano Teacher” (1983), which had sensational success in Europe and the USA, is a landmark work of contemporary literature. Its film adaptation, reinterpreted by the famous director Michael Haneke, received the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival in 2001 and an unofficial status as “the first significant film work of the new century.”
