Shoot the Piano Player

UNRATED19601 hr 21 min

François Truffaut is drunk on the possibilities of cinema in this, his most playful film. Part thriller, part comedy, part tragedy, SHOOT THE PIANO PLAYER relates the adventures of mild-mannered piano player Charlie (Charles Aznavour, in a triumph of hangdog deadpan) as he stumbles into the criminal underworld and a whirlwind love affair. Loaded with gags, guns, clowns, and thugs, this razor-sharp homage to the American gangster film is pure nouvelle vague.

Starring Charles Aznavour, Marie Dubois, Nicole Berger, Michele Mercier, Serge Davri, Clauder Mansard, Daniel Boulanger, Jean-Jacques Aslanian, Richard Kanayan, Claude Heymann
