Shoot the Piano Player - Criterion Collection  

Shoot the Piano Player - Criterion Collection

Staring: Charles Aznavour, Marie Dubois, Nicole Berger, Michèle Mercier, Serge Davri
Director: François Truffaut
Francois Truffaut is drunk on the possibilities of cinema in this, his most playful, anarchic film. Part thriller, part comedy, part tragedy, Shoot the Piano Player relates the adventures of the 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.
