Shoot the Piano Player - Tirez sur le pianiste (1960)
Synopsis
François Truffaut is drunk on the possibilities of cinema in this, his most playful film.
Part thriller, part comedy, part tragedy, Shoot the Piano Player relates the adventures of mild-mannered piano player Charlie (Charles Aznavour, in a triumph of hangdog deadpan) as he stumbles into the criminal underworld and a whirlwind love affair.
Loaded with gags, guns, clowns, and thugs, this razor-sharp homage to the American gangster film is pure nouvelle vague. --The Criterion Collection
Cast: Charles Aznavour, Marie Dubois, Nicole Berger, Michèle Mercier, Serge Davri, Claude Mansard, Daniel Boulanger, Jean-Jacques Aslanian, Richard Kanayan, Claude Heymann, Albert Remy
