Plot
A real-estate thug dreams of being a pianist.
Sinekatalog’s take
Jacques Audiard's remake of Fingers follows a thug yearning to be a pianist. Romain Duris is explosive, and the film's tension between violence and music is gripping and sensual.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
