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.

  • Hell Hath No Fury Like A Screenwriter's Scorn
    Turns out that the life of a Hollywood screenwriter is more about rejection and powerlessness than about actual writing — or so it would seem from Tales from the Script, a documentary that features 52 screenwriters talking about the trials and tribulations of writing for the silver screen.
  • New Music Emerges From Elkhart's Instrument Past
    Dozens of band instrument makers used to be part of the local economy in Elkhart, Ind. But since the city was battered by the economy, only three major companies remain. One says it will manufacture instruments only in the U.S. — and it will hire new workers to grow the business and regain market share.
  • 'Parking Lot': Guys, Cars And The Meaning Of Life
    One of the buzz movies at this year's South By Southwest Film Festival depicts the denizens of the Corner Parking Lot in Charlottesville, Va., whose attendants are a surprisingly lively bunch of poets, philosophers, musicians and anthropologists. Sandy Hausman reports from member station WVTF.
  • From Korea, A Thriller Hitchcock Would Admire
    In Mother, Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho turns in a taut mystery about a woman who takes it upon herself to investigate the murder of a teenage girl in the effort to prove her son's innocence — and ends up uncovering much more than she bargained for.

    In the late '70s and early '80s, Enjoli perfume commercials extolled the era's ideal Superwoman — a perfectly coiffed working mom who could "bring home the bacon" and still be sexy for her man.

But a new surge of war movies has come out — Green Zone takes on the search for WMDs; The Hurt Locker follows a bomb squad; and The Pacific is a 10-hour HBO World War II epic. These aren't battle-strategy flicks — they explore the brutality of war on an individual scale.
  • The Mad Hatter's Secret Ingredient: Math
    The first numbers that come to mind when thinking about Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland might be how much money the movie is raking in at the box office. But mathematicians say the books are full of algebraic lessons — such as why a raven is like a writing desk.
