Summary: 28-year-old Tom follows in the footsteps of his father, who made his money from dirty real estate deals. Somehow he appears to have arrived at a critical juncture in his life when a chance encounter prompts him to take up the piano and become a concert pianist, like his mother. He senses that this might be his final opportunity to take back his life.

Romain Duris is amazing here. The film is full of moments of insight, interest and intensity as Audiard takes material that could have easily come off as obvious but manages to take it in such a direction that it is instead intelligent and emotionally compelling. Great stuff.
Meandering, frustrating film is saddled from the outset with an unlikable (and inscrutable) leading character, which makes it difficult to become wholly invested in the film as a whole, despite the fine performances (Arestrup in particular is a delight in his brief scenes as Duris' father). Beautifully crafted however, with scenes of sudden, jarring violence particularly well staged and executed.
Duris is astonishing, full of coiled energy, as the slum-lord gangster who feels the pull of his love for the piano. While the opposition of the two worlds may have been a little too neat, the film is satisfying.
Stunning lead performance, as the lead character gets slowly revealed while his alienation towards the world art large transforms into an alienation from his underworld escape. It's full of great moments and excellent energy. It does feel like there's a lynchpin missing, something to give everything, particularly the ending, the extra weight to raise it to greatness but it's still wonderful.
The best remake ever. In Audiards masterpiece Romain Duris reinvents acting to a form, which is so unbelievably real that it reduces all other performances to imitations of static mannequins.

Compelling and heartwarming (especially if one loves the instrument), Audiard is perhaps the most interesting and one of the best contemporary french filmmakers, the guy can aim a fucking camera, put a scene together, and make you care about the characters involved. He's fastly becoming my favorite french filmmaker. Do yourself a favor and watch "A Prophet" aswell.
Jacques Audiard is without a doubt my favorite contemporary French director. Here, like in A Prophet, you find the same richness of gritty tone, choice music selection, and unique characterization. Audiard's heroes are forced to struggle through their ugly environments to attain the innocence and peace that they know rests in their souls. They are not good men, but on some level they desire to be just that, and their journeys are utterly captivating. The piano stuff in this is just wonderful.
