315 - Shoot The Piano Player
2 Attachment(s)
Thinpak conversion of the cover scan of Criterion issue of "Shoot The Piano Player aka Tirez sur le pianiste (1960)" (Spine #315). The original Standard Amaray scan by MHD is posted here.
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 affair. Loaded with gags, guns, clowns, and thugs, this razor-sharp homage to the American gangster film is pure nouvelle vague. Cheers! |
