What Shoot the Piano Player Is About
A man playing piano in a small Paris bar tries to keep his past hidden when his brothers bring trouble to him. He was once a concert pianist. The film keeps changing register: gangster chase, romance, direct address to camera, jokes cut in. The narrative chooses that looseness deliberately and takes noir out of its American shape into somewhere else. Francois Truffaut directed his second feature, with Charles Aznavour in the lead, adapting an American crime novel. Who it's for: those who like the playful side of the French new wave. Who it's not for: viewers wanting a consistent genre; the film moves from comedy to tragedy in a single cut.
