Film: The Piano Teacher directed by Michael Haneke

A dark and powerful film about a repressed middle aged female piano teacher. She has not quite made concert grade pianist but is still a strict and severe teacher of piano. A pupil arrives who is self confident and has an eye for her. Initially she rejects him, but then lets him into her warped world and repressed/dominating personality.

Certainly not an easy film to watch, and has some very controversial themes.
