Louis C.K. Talks About "The Piano Teacher"

[@DilairSingleton]

I watched this movie after hearing Louis talking about it and I was blown away. Great movie.

[@Vlatka211]

same here:)

[@wesflarger]

Did you also notice he lied about the mall sex scene?

[@CC3GROUNDZERO]

@@wesflarger I think he just misremembered some details or didn't catch them while watching the film. He talks about it being set in Paris when it's actually set in Vienna. It's actually an Austrian film by an Austrian director set in Austria, but filmed in French with mostly French principal actors.

[@TheMrlittletooth]

Louis has such great taste in movies.

[@mekanikafghani]

what a masterpiece. very disturbing...not for fainted hearted people. what a performance. not a cheap hollywood shit. it`s something else 10/10

[@WoahLookAtThatFreak]

Of course Opie is the type of guy who would say "You have to read!?" when talking about foreign films.

[@matthewj6492]

I love how later in the clip he says he goes to the artsy theaters. I don’t know one person who hates foreign films that have subtitles and still goes to art house theaters. Opie is such a hack.

[@magicknight13]

Right, that said so much about him as a person 😂

[@erghface7697]

Get the stick out your ass man it was a little joke

[@evi6907]

I watched this movie as a kid on cable tv back home in Vienna. I remember feeling sad for the teacher, hoping that I’ll never hurt like her when I grow up.

[@The_Tortoise_and_the_Hare]

I watched it as a kid too, but I loved it, I loved the ending especially! I was mesmerized by the movie. It's one of my favorites.

[@magicknight13]

@@The_Tortoise_and_the_Hare same here I love the movie and the ending is fascinating!!

[@sednasix6608]

Not surprised that Louis CK saw or even enjoyed The Piano Teacher, but what was more interesting is how he's the smartest guy in that room.

[@Vlatka211]

Very good point, but it's America, they force that on people. Consume, and be a robot.

[@DCI-Frank-Burnside]

Even less surprised now.

[@hah6988]

Anthony is pretty intelligent

[@juanignaciocastro22]

It's a masterpiece, from the direction to the performances. Yes it's dark, but it's a perfect study of psychology, and that makes it one of the most interesting and profound movies i've seen. Also Huppert shows the best performance in a movie i've ever seen, she's hypnotic.

[@WehlerDealer]

He's right. Not an easy film to watch, but it's unlike anything else, and Huppert is magnificent in it.

[@chrisv384]

not that hard to watch either.. it´s slow but not boring.

[@magicknight13]

I love this movie!! One of my all time favorites

[@adamarens3520]

This is the best quick review of this movie. Thank you Louis CK!

[@thetoothbrushfromnisemonog8340]

Haneke is a master. Louie is right, one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.

[@woofian]

An excellent film

[@gowwf]

just finished watching it. amazing.

[@beepboop9519]

I love this movie

[@Romanplaystation]

Wish i knew this existed before. One of my favourite comedians talking about one of my favourite actors in one of my favourite films. Wonderful. Bit late to the party, but thanks. 👊

[@Tamacat388]

Wow, just watched the movie today didn't expect to find a video of Louie C.K. talking about it. Although he's also an artsy guy I suppose.

[@CrescimoneMatt]

+Thanatos388 Yeah honestly, his show Louie is pretty damn good imo. He has great taste.

[@merryquantagency2731]

The setting is in Vienna, not Paris. It is a German-French film.

Anybody know what episode this on? Them talking about movies before this set it kills me.

[@alijoyce2169]

Is Louis talking with elementary schoolkids?

[@funeralforahorse]

3 years later, but just FYI - NO, absolutely not, the movie is about a college-level piano teacher. The students are in their twenties.

[@ola6482]

I infatuated with Louis’ mind

[@promethiamoore6462]

He didn't talk about the twist in the end of the movie

[@kamleshsundaram8493]

I don't know why, but I'm Louis like it...

[@djmotise]

Frickin HILARIOUS!!!

[@markb2093]

It’s actually Austrian and takes place in Vienna

[@lukess.s]

It's actually French but is directed by an Austrian.

[@HeligoLandia]

@@lukess.s It's an austrian-french-german co-production french-language film.Taking place in Vienna and filmed there by austrian director Michael Haneke. The 3 main actors are french the rest are austrias and germans dubbed.

[@RocktracksSC]

@@lukess.s The book is Austrian as well

[@burpburp4904]

"Fuck that reading shit"..... Oh Opie... My favorite movies are French. Because they don't give a shit about political correctness.

[@mrwritestuff1]

No European films do.

[@fernandolora1905]

Are the scenes where Erika cutting herself prevalent in the film? I'm asking this bc I was really disturbed when she did that and if those scenes arent that prevalent then I can skip that part and get the film continued

[@CrescimoneMatt]

+Fernando Lora There's only that one cutting part, so you're good to watch the rest of the movie. Still plenty more to be disturbed by though.

[@brianhueber3683]

“Fuck that reading shit”. Americans and subtitles.

The way he describes the movie is soo disappointing! I don't think he really got the concept of the movie! And I don't know what those radio hosts were laughing at!

[@dirt420]

he doesn't want to spoil it

[@dirt420]

and is talking to friends lol

[@deepalall647]

Americans! 😂 They are so shallow.He was just focused on all the sex parts and describing her as psychotic woman.Imagine if this was an American movie 😂 So much cringe!!

[@FluffyBuzzard2TheMax]

Or maybe he's a comedian exaggerating for affect?

[@ckay7750]

he's a comedian!! noone in that room cares about louis' insight in discussing the complexity of the movie they just wanna have a good time and he knows that

[@astromantix]

kinda misses the point tho

[@bryanwilliams9701]

given what we know about LCK, not surprising he loves this film about a woman w/ her own sexual perversions!

[@BWProductions93]

We have the same name

[@deepalall647]

This is the most American conversation I have heard and it's so cringy 😂 Please don't try to explain a French movie.

[@eleccy]

The scene in the theatre wasn't anything like Louis said, it wasn't anything to do with a** f***. Not sure why he felt the need to sensationalise an already scandalous scene.

[@RocktracksSC]

The edit on Criterion absolutely has it visible on the screen at one point, but she was watching oral sex while sniffing the tissue, not that the specific act matters imo

[@eleccy]

@@RocktracksSC True, I don't think it really matters either, which is why I commented this, I'm confused why Louis described it so specifically and so sensationalised compared to the actual scene, probably for comedic effect, but it's so specific in how he's overexaggerating that it leaves me confused as to why he would be so specific, and why he also introduces a racial element? Don't know. It's just weird.

[@rayg4964]

Bunch of philistines including Louis C.K. ! The way he describes the movie is disgraceful. Someone who has no understanding of humanity, human behaviour or psychology.

[@ppwalk05]

The movie was pretentious eurotrash. Haneke and Continental yurocucks in general don't understand basic human behavior or psychology at all, psychoanalysis is a laughable joke. Continetals just don't understand that garbage epistemology produces pseudo knowledge...

[@maketimmycry]

You are so pretentious its laughable

[@joshg.4448]

Louis CK was a comedian on a comedic radio show, if he's going to talk about such a fucked up movie he's going to try to make it as humorous and vulgar as possible.

[@spockrates7980]

The way he describes it to an audience of people on the verge of tuning out is fine.

[@DCI-Frank-Burnside]

Yeah but he's talking to a bunch of douche bags. He's not likely to address the scene where she is sniffing the tissue as a painful study of one woman's pathological inability to connect emotionally to her environment. It's not the right crowd. And as the scandal that's currently enveloping C.K suggests he has his own psycho-social problems. He probably did connect with the film on some level.

[@josemlsoares]

:)

[@Chris-is1rd]

Jesus. He is wrong on so many points here

[@jakemaringoni]

what the hell are you talking about?

[@johannsebastianbach3411]

No man, he is just playing the role of "the stupid american who doesn't understand art, psychology, and philosophy." His purpose is to dumb down the film so that the average american at least might be interested in watching the film later. Judging from the kind of stand-up he does, he understands that the film is a deep investigation of human sexuality, but he cannot go on there and talk about Lacan, if he wants any americans to watch the movie :D

[@philippebeauchamp2827]

This guy knows nothing about Michael Haneke. Good thing now he's on hollywood's blacklist

[@philippebeauchamp2827]

I mean, he says nothing smart out of this movie. The Piano Teacher can just be straight a reflection of this deviant person. I mean he mocks her doings but now we all know he did worst and is as twisted as the main character.

[@lukess.s]

@@philippebeauchamp2827 you realise he's trying to sell it to the guys on the podcast who clearly aren't into art films, right? Also, as far as I know, asking for consent and then doing what you were given permission to do isn't nearly as bad as 99% of the things the protagonist of The Piano Teacher does
