Shoot the Piano Player

Full Circle Peak Critique Critique for Truffaut's Masterpiece!

By Kendall Defoe Published 2 years ago 1 min read
A Perfect Film!

The comedy touches tragedy.

The tragedy touches comedy.

A man with a past finds it will not leave him alone, even when love, gangsters, prostitutes, and musical talent give him a chance.

All this and a box office failure (once again, so much remains unfair).

Please watch, and don't shoot!
