Film Classics in 35mm! Charles Aznavour, 1924-2018
SHOOT THE PIANO PLAYER
TIREZ SUR LA PIANISTE
France
| 1960 | François Truffaut
The late, great French singer Charles Aznavour was best known to American film buffs as the indelible, unflappable star of this François Truffaut New Wave crime classic. Aznavour plays an ex-concert pianist working at a seedy bar when he gets involved with crooks and murder. Truffaut’s hugely enjoyable second feature mixes comedy and tragedy, and enhances its pulpy B-movie plot with bold stylistic innovations. Scope print! Subtitles. 80 min.
Special event pricing $12; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $9. No passes, twofers, or radio winners.
