Description
----------------
Franc,ois 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.
