The Piano Teacher by Elfriede Jelinek

3.0

I saw this movie once about 15 years ago and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. It’s a lot better than the book. Even though movie Erika does a very Bad thing in her pursuit of Walter, in some weird way you still pity her and root for them to make it. Book Erika and Walter are so unlikable that you don’t want anything to do with them, even if they’re just characters in a story. I did want to keep reading to see what would happen next, but also to plow through and finish so I could move on.
