Piano World Home Page Forums Fun Stuff! - Parties, Tours, Projects & More... Just For The Fun of It piano movies

What are some good piano movies about piano players. It does not need to really be fact but can be fiction movies as well. I will settle for any music movies new and old.

If you have anything at all post it. I am looking for inspiration. I feel I am getting ready to come to a halt so I am needing help.

Richter: The Enigma (about Sviatoslav Richter)

The Gift of Music (about Evgeny Kissin)

Thanks. I have not seen those yet!!!

Were you on the other thread that had The Legend of 1900 mentioned 20 times? If so, or not, let me mention it again.

I assume that you know the obvious ones, like "The Pianist."

How about "Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould"?

This is the first time I posted this I think??? The legend of 1900 does not ring a bell. Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould is new to me as well.

Keep them coming, even the obvious ones. I am somewhat disconnected from society. I did see the pianist though.

The Competition
with Richard Dryfess and Amy Irving

It came out in 1980

Its about a classical piano competion

the 2 pianists end up falling in love and they are competing against each other in the competition

In the Piano Forums section there was a thread I think just last week where folks were giving their favorite piano movies, I think you'll find some good ones in there as well. If I wasn't so computer dumb, I'd post a link myself but...

There are two good movies that are not about piano but have piano bits in them. I likes "Nola" because it has Emmy Rossum in it! HOT! She plays the piano at the end. Amadause also has cool piano(harpsicord) scenes. Those are the only ones I can think of that were not mentioned before.

I pinch

"Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould" is a neat documentary. Each of the films is very short (30 seconds, a minute, maybe 5 minutes at the longest).


"Shine" is very popular. It's based on fact, but also 'Hollwoodized' quite a bit.

"The Piano"
"The Pianist"

I can't help it but I really enjoy "Great Balls of Fire". For those that don't know, its about the early life of Jerry Lee Lewis.
