The Piano Teacher (2001): girl r u ok?

This week, Sarah and Emma bond over Michael Haneke’s (Funny Games) unnerving character study of a repressed middle-aged piano instructor who seeks an outlet for her controversial sexual desires while in the grasp of her controlling mother.   The ladies discuss the film's central theme of the dynamics of power & control.  An 18-year old Sarah visits a rural roadside smut shop with her friends.  Emma begrudgingly gives a dramatic reading of the film’s infamous kink letter, while Sarah reads reviews from disgruntled book club women who, for some reason, were under the impression that this was a romance.
