name a more iconic duo than isabelle huppert and acting I'll Wait

Dear Michael Haneke,

This is fucked up. But, it's like this really cool and beautiful type of fucked up though. Is it okay for me to like this so much? It's not like I was entertained, I just loved it. But, at the same time I'm really scared. Is it possible you could follow me around for the next few days and just explain some shit to me? I'd greatly appreciate that. Life just seems to be a tad bit more confusing after this one.

Thanks,
Christian Childress

Jesus Christ. Holy shit. What the fuck.

Four minutes into this, I had already decided that I would give this film five stars. It's that good. The rest of it did not disappoint, but fucking hell. Goddamn it.

Piano music will never be the same.

i was watching this on my laptop on the couch while the hallmark christmas movie marathon was playing on the tv and that made for a very surreal ass experience to say the least

the next time someone asks me if i’m a feminist i’m just gonna tell them to watch this movie

why is michael haneke's signature move making me so uncomfortable that i have to keep checking how much is left in his movies

the extremist case of kink shaming ever

I thought I had seen this but it turns out I was thinking of Jane Campion's The Piano (also an excellent movie) like a dumb ass. It turns into a typical Michael Haneke movie relatively quickly, and the exploration of power dynamics as strictly designated zones of sexuality becoming more and more blurred is fascinating stuff. It's what is indistinguishable that is illuminated through Isabelle Huppert's performance, gliding between spaces as a constant of repressed kink and overt dominance. She makes the movie, as she usually does, and Haneke's direction isn't afraid to step back and embrace the performers, which is another reason for the film's success.

a lot to unpack here

jesus christ, haneke

An intensely realistic portrait of sexual repression. Michael Haneke's The Piano Teacher is bleak and downright unsettling, yet still possesses an underlying beauty that makes it absolutely captivating. The writing and directing are impeccable, but it's Isabelle Huppert who truly makes this film with an utterly phenomenal performance that just exudes vulnerability.

dude i hade never seen any of this directors work so I genuinely thought before watching this it was gonna be a nice love story about a piano teacher falling in love. Yeah... kinda wished I never watched this, I was not prepared at all. I had to pause the movie so many times cause I just could not. It’s a lot and I was not ready for any of it.

Did Isabelle Huppert invent acting?

- I’m really sorry Elisabeth Moss, you’re my all time favorite girl and you know it - 

Taking in the performance of Isabelle Huppert in this will take a life time to comprehend. This movie is hard by every definition of the word.

That bitch is crazy and she talks funny

benoît magimel looked like jesse mccartney

still it’s disturbing

Desconcertante. Um exame intenso e pertubador sobre desejo, solidão, desespero e auto-negação e que se parece mais com um tour pelos arquivos esquecidos de Freud do que com uma obra de ficção. Hupert dá a Erika uma persona tão intrigante que você vai se encontrar olhando para ela hipnoticamente, tentando entedê-la e se perguntando se e quando ela irá surtar. Trabalho de mestre de Haneke, que em sua típica austeridade faz questão de nos impressionar com essa idéia de que arte nem sempre é algo bonito e que, com sua ousadia, nos mostra de uma maneira inteligente e instigante muito da repressão feminina. Brutalmente chocante e difícil de assistir.
