the beat that my heart skip be a beautiful film . thomas seyr be a property dealer . a broker . a fast talker . a fixer . he and his two partner encourage seller to sell cheap . encouragement include release rat into the property at night or the liberal use of baseball bat . but this be a beautiful film . mr shady adrenalin rush seyr have a past . not a bad past more of a silver lining that accidentally get uncovered . like his mother and he use to play piano . a twist of circumstance have him suddenly realise he have a chance to be a pianist and he take lesson to prepare for an audition . an audio flashback have his teacher tell him and the emotion be not very generous and at the same time the film slip into a minor key a our emotional involvement with the character kick in . play piano interferes with thomas be a total bastard and much to the annoyance of his colleague who do not want him pussyfoot around with such a silly hobby and but the audience and thomas sense a soul struggle to shine through his shitty persona and the amphetamine pace timeframe stop the movie from go gooilly sentimental . more formula a we see him at the piano naked from the waist up after make love and flatter lighting and chopin and debussy and bach and mozart . sensuousness and arty mix . electro move to classical . the beat that my heart skip carefully push all the right button and but still seem fresh give french naturalistic acting and an unpredictable storyline and great soundtrack and and be entertaining and funny . a remake of an american movie with harvey keitel and it stand up quite well even if lack in substance . thomas perhaps eventually find what his heart miss and though not quite a predict .
