litigante is out on curzon home cinema now.zon home cinema is in her hands, the story of brilliant young working—class pianist who is discovered playing piano at a train station by the director of the paris conservatoire. it is a neat idea, with a strong cast, including kristin scott thomas as a strict piano teacher. jules benchetrit is charismatic in the lead role, but i found it hard to shake the knowledge that he is an actor who has been trained to play the right notes rather than a truly gifted classical pianist, which is what the whole story hinges on. and the formula of the big contest that happens to clash with important family events feels very familiar indeed. if you want to watch one formulate musical drama with kristin scott thomas this week, i would actually make it military wives, out on dvd now. keep going, keep going! # looking from a window above. # like a story of love. go on. # can you hear me? # came back only yesterday. # i'm moving further away. # want you near me. # all i needed was the love you gave. # al
