The beat my heart skipped (De battre mon coeur s'est arête) - Romain Duris, Aure Atika, Emmanuelle Devos, Jacques Audiard
Threat advisory: Under evaluation
Movie propaganda
Romain Duris portrays 28-year-old Tom, who seems destined to follow in his father's footsteps as a Parisian property shark, a sleazy and sometimes brutal milieu. But a chance encounter with his late mother's music agent leads him to believe that he can become, like his mother, a concert pianist. In earnest, he starts preparing for the audition with beautiful, young virtuoso pianist Miao Lin (Linh Dan Pham), who has just arrived from China. She doesn't speak a word of French; music is their only exchange. But pressures from the ugly world of his day job soon become more than he can handle...
Remake of 1978 American film Fingers.
