They Shot the Piano Player Review

Here comes my third full-length review out of TIFF 2023, with They Shot the Piano Player from directors Fernando Trueba and Javier Mariscal, about a journalist's personal quest and obsession of Francisco Tenório Júnior and his music. Let me know if you guys are excited to see this film, it may end up being a hidden gem that you don't want to miss...

Maybe I’ll check it out when it drops. First I’ve heard of it.

I hadn’t heard of it before I saw it on the TIFF lineup, but definitely one you’re going to want to look out for!

I saw the movie today at Regal in metro Atlanta. It's pretty good. The animation is excellent. The story is good, but it might flow better if it were a primarily a documentary like Persepolis.

I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

The anti-Peronist military staged a coup, but labled themselves as revolutionaries. This would account for many disappearances of people suspected of being Peron sympathisers. I hope this clarifies some of the historical background.
