The Page Turner

Mèlanie, a small-town butcher's daughter, seems to have a special gift for the piano. She takes the Conservatory entrance exam, but fails after being distracted by the thoughtless behavior of the chairwoman of the jury, a well known concert pianist. Bitterly disappointed, Mèlanie gives up the piano. Some ten years later, while working as an intern at a law film, Mèlanie meets Monsieur Fouchècourt, the husband of the woman who has changed her life. Mèlanie's efficiency and devotion are quickly noticed and Monsieur Fouchècourt recruits her into his home to look after his son. Madame Fouchècourt soon warms to Mèlanie when her musical sensitivity comes out, and the young woman becomes her page turner...

This movie is the perfect example why Hollywood movies suck. I swear I have never felt more intense then when Mélanie was turning the pages at the first concert. I was expecting her to purposely mess up. I was so nervous for Ariane, I could barely watch. This French movie has frightened me more than any “my bloody valentine” or stupid movies like the ring. Its brilliant.

it's not exactly a twist, it's just a powerful ending

They put it on late at night. No plugging of the film. It's French with sub-titles. Well, probably the best film I have seen for a long, long time. I've ordered the DVD.

Vi esta peli en la tele, la agarré empezada, nunca supe de qué se está vengando la chica. LAquisiera ver de nuevo, pero desde el principio.

What I don't like is that she never knows Melanie was that little girl..

Hmm... Looks like it might have been good if not for the lesbo content.

does anyone think that the young woman caused the car accident that made the piano teacher have stage fright?
