Two Pianos opens May 1st at Angelika Film Center, before expanding to BAM Rose Cinema on May 8th.
After years of self-imposed exile, a pianist, Mathias (François Civil), returns to France, where his former mentor, Eléna (Charlotte Rampling), has invited him to perform a series of concerts with her in his hometown of Lyon. Once a rising star of the French musical scene and Eléna’s prized pupil, Mathias has spent many years teaching and performing in Japan. Soon after his arrival, a chance encounter with a child who looks just like him throws Mathias into turmoil, threatening to drag him down, and leads him back to his first love, Claude (Nadia Tereszkiewicz). French master Arnaud Desplechin (My Sex Life…, A Christmas Tale) returns to some of his favorite themes – homecomings and unexpected reunions (romantic and otherwise) – in this melodrama featuring one of Rampling’s most delicious roles in years.
