Review
Aspiring French filmmaker Luc
Plissonneau presents a conventional unconventional love story of "old"
mentor and young student in his latest short entitled Les Mains.
The mentor is a struggling concert pianist, the student his dreaming muse. They fall in
love and live out an arch-French romance. This may not sound like
groundbreaking material, but if Plissonneau treads
familiar ground during the majority of his little film, he certainly
hits a different note with his elegant, bittersweet and thoroughly
romantic ending. We're treated to an inspired piece of filmmaking in
combination with a great artistic performance by world-renowned pianist
Ivan Ilic whose performance is full of naturalness. Plissonneau raises
expectations before his pending feature film debut.
