Two Pianos

Once a rising star of the French musical scene and Eléna’s (Charlotte Rampling) prized pupil, pianist Mathias (François Civil) returns to France after many years spent teaching and performing in Japan. Soon after his arrival, a chance encounter with a child who looks just like him throws Mathias into turmoil, and leads him back to his first love, Claude (Nadia Tereszkiewicz). French master Arnaud Desplechin (My Sex Life…, A Christmas Tale) returns to some of his favorite themes—psychologically charged homecomings and unexpected reunions (romantic and otherwise)—in this sensual, Hitchcockian melodrama featuring one of Rampling’s most delicious roles in years.
