The creative documentary Piano Player is a story about the piano player and musician Oscar Strock, who was a well known tango music composer in 1920s Europe. Nobody knew him – only his music was well known. The life of Strock is like a side-show of everlasting debts, long voyages and wild and unlucky love affairs that find their best interpretation through his tango music. The piano player is a man, who barely arranges his life according to the political and economic circumstances in the world. To earn money, he plays for pubs and cinema theatres in Riga, Berlin and Paris, and for lovers, he writes the most romantic tango music.
Reviews
For having a relatively low budget, the film's style and overall art direction are immensely impressive.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
