About this movie
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 tyrannical 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. ©ARTIFICIAL EYE 2013
