Description: 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 af ...

"Charlie and Léna What she did: Pull Charlie out of his nihilistic shell What he did: Go back into his nihilistic shell (I mean nihilism in terms of definition number 4a: an extreme form of skepticism: the denial of all real existence or the possibility of an objective basis for truth.) This is definitely not the feel good movie of the summer. And I'm starting to think by my choices that I don't watch many romantic movies."

"28.8. François-sedältä nähdyistä ehkäpä visuaalisesti vaikuttavin ja rakenteellisesti kekseliäin elokuva, sekä tietyssä mielessä ehkä se äärimmäinen Ranskan uuden aallon edustaja. Mustavalkoisesta scopesta otetaan ihan kunnolla kaikki ilo irti, ja pieniä kerronnallisia jippoja sekä amerikkalaiseen rikoselokuvaan kieli poskessa viittaavia hetkiä riittää. Äitinsä kautta vannova puhelias poplarinilkki kumppaneineen sekä neljättä seinää rikkovat tissitkin löytyy, ja lopp"

"2.1. Digiboksi Eka tunti on aivan saatanan intensiivistä ja neroutta lähentelevää henkilökuvausta erittäin hienolla, tunnelmaa tukevalla kamerankäytöllä ja vahvalla näyttelijätyöllä. Kun elokuva tämän jälkeen lähtee varsinaisesti liikkeelle, tunnelma pääsee vähän lopahtamaan. Erittäin vaikuttava elokuva."
