Shoot the Piano Player

Legendary French writer and director François Truffaut's second feature film has all the elements of the New Wave which liberated Cinema in many ways. A former famed pianist has found a new life as a player in a dive bar which is threatened by gangsters who are after his brothers. Legendary singer Charles Aznavour stars as the lead with a solid supporting cast. Frequent Truffaut collaborators Raoul Coutard, Georges Delerue and Claudine Bouché are on board for this classic.
