Abstract

Michael Haneke’s La Pianiste is a French-language movie even though it is set in Austria, directed by an Austrian, and adapted by him from a 1983, autobiographical novel by the Austrian Elfriede Jelinek. Jelinek’s title was Die Klavierlehrerin, whence derives the picture’s North American name: The Piano Teacher (2001).
