Grand Piano starts
slowly. Watch for an interesting impression in the beginning scenes where Elijah Wood profiles in a doorway as a younger version of Alfred Hitchcock before proceeding to the piano. By the time he seats himself and commences
the beginning notes of his assigned piece, one begins thinking this film is definitely
worth a bag of popcorn. When Elijah Wood hears John Cusack, as the character
Clem, tell him what to do, the movie turns into one of most intense thrillers on
today’s market. The realism of the film is irreproachable.
Storyline
Tom Selznick (Elijah
Wood), a professional piano player, left public performance 5 years ago after
making a mistake on “La Cinquette,” a difficult score often called unplayable. When
he is asked to perform in Chicago, he finds himself under threat to play “La
Cinquette” flawlessly to protect himself and his wife from murder.
