Tirez sur le pianiste
François Truffaut / FR, 1959 / 85 min.
François Truffaut deftly manipulates the unwritten laws of the thriller genre in this French cinema classic. Singer Charles Aznavour is very convincing as a melancholic bar pianist, whose fragile existence is alleviated by darkly humorous dialogues.
To accompany the release of Aznavour, le regard de Charles, featuring footage from hundreds of 16 mm films Aznavour shot himself, Eye will screen a small framework programme with two films in which Charles Aznavour stars as an actor. Ths singer with the sad eyes appeared in Tirez sur le pianiste by François Truffaut and Les fantômes du chapelier van Claude Chabrol.
