A Little Out of Tune



Here, that jolly sing-a-long from François Truffaut's rumpus second feature, Shoot the Piano Player, or as the French call it, Tirez sur le pianiste. Having finally seen it, and rewatching it with Criterion's commentary track on, as helpful as all Criterion commentary tracks are at simultaneously explaining exactly why the viewer should love the film while pointing out how incredibly inferior his or her IQ is compared to the scholar giving said commentary, in this case, two viewpoints, one from a man, another from a woman, which as pointed out in their commentary, is one of the film's many central themes of which you, stupid American, entirely miss while reading the subtitles, I could not recommend it more.
