A very good movie

Most of the time, French movies are remade in (very average) American versions. This time, we have a French movie which is actually a remake of (unknown) American movie ('Fingers' by James Tobak with Harvey Keitel). Quite surprising... Even more surprising is that this "remake" happens to be a great movie! The directing is great, the acting is awesome and the story is just fascinating. It is a ver... read more

" Plot: Should Tom make like his thuggish father or pursue his dream of becoming a pianist? This is actually a French remake of the Harvey Keitel film "Fingers" (1978). Despite my love for Keitel and for this film I still doubt I'll watch the original. This film deals more with internal emotional conflict. There is some external conflict but that is secondary to the story of the conflicts of ones nature and past versus what one dreams of becoming."

"Original Title: 'De battre mon coeur s'est arrêté' Directed by: Jacques Audiard Plot: Thomas wonders if he should follow his father (criminal) footsteps or if he should follow his dream of becoming a renowned pianist.

This time, we have a French movie which is actually a remake of (unknown) American movie ('Fingers' by James Tobak with Harvey Keitel). Quite surprising... Even more surprising is that "
