first of all and i must say that i love this film . it be the first film that i saw from director micheal haneke and i be impressed that how good the direction be good . haneke surely know how to direct actor . what i find intresting be also haneke scenario . at first and you saw a woman who be very straight and seem to be a good piano teacher and very well love and respect from everybody in her entourage . then you realise that she have a mother who be a controle freak and be too much present in her life . now you know that she be derange and that she have emotional problem and but you do not know exactly what . and then you fall into her dark side and but her dark side be only reveal when a student sendenly fall in love with her . she can not control herself anymore . the role be very complexed and difficult to play and but isabelle huppert be marvellous in her role and she deserve the recognition she have at cannes festival . benoit maginel be very solid too and but a little bit eclipse by huppert performance . there be one thing that i find strange in the scenario be how the character play by magimel be not very credible . he be too talented . it be rare that a person be a piano virtuoso and but pass the most of the his time to play hockey and study . it think that it be a weak point and but only a minor flaw . i just saw the movie once and so i can not do a very complete critic and because i do not analyse the movie . i like what i saw . so i give the film a 8 . 5/10oh yeah . a for the end and haneke show that he really want to shock his audience . a motivation that do not think be necessary to make movie and but haneke do it with style and precision and that be why his film be good than baise moi for example . vince .
