Episode: Ep 282: The Piano Teacher
Description: Gavia is joined by guest-host Claire Biddles to discuss Michael Haneke’s 2001 erotic psychodrama The Piano Teacher, starring Isabelle as a Viennese piano teacher who embarks on a toxic sadomasochistic affair with one of her students.
We delved into Huppert’s performance and career, the film’s costuming and music choices, the depiction of poorly-negotiated kink, and Haneke’s unique brand of intense drama.
