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, with whom she has a volatile love-hate relationship.
But when one of Erika's students, the handsome and assured Walter Klemmer, 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.
In French with English subtitles.

Review This Product
Even the music is excellent

A curious story, with brilliant performances from Huppert and Magimel, which goes far beyond a miserable music teacher having an affair with a student, but with complex reflections on sadism and masochism, relationships and age differences. He's interested in a simple affair and finds he has got far more than he bargained for : but then, when he gives her what she very explicitly asked for, in written instructions, she finds that you don't always want what you think you want.

I took this DVD because of its star rating and the awards it gleaned, however the subject...masicism/sadism however prevalent does not make for enjoyable vieiwing. I found it too disturbing. The code unknown by the same director is thought provoking although rather depressing.
