Description
"In this riveting study of the dynamics of control, Academy Award-winning director Michael Haneke takes on Nobel laureate Elfriede Jelinek's controversial 1983 novel about perverse female sexuality and the world of classical music ... Erika [is] a piano professor at a Viennese conservatory who lives with her mother in a claustrophobically codepenƯdent relationƯship. Severely repressed, she satisfies her masƯochistic urges only voyeuristically until she meets Walter, a student whose desire for Erika leads to a destructive infatuation that upsets the careful equilibrium of her life."--Container.
Description
Erika, a repressed, middle-aged piano teacher who has lived with her mother all of her life, becomes infatuated with her young student Walter.
