Shoot the Pianist

12A

Part thriller, part comedy, part tragedy, Shoot the Pianist relates the adventures of mild-mannered piano player Charlie (Charles Aznavour) as he stumbles into the criminal underworld and a whirlwind love affair. Loaded with gags, guns, clowns, and thugs, this razor-sharp homage to the American gangster film is pure nouvelle vague.

Presented by Brudenell Piano Sessions, this special screening will begin with a short introduction from Simeon Walker.
