Director: Scott Hicks

Australia, 1996, 105 mins.

Driven by his perfectionist German father, young Australian concert pianist Noah Taylor comes to London to study with professor John Gielgud, and cracks up spectacularly under the strain. Years later, out of mental hospital, he plays in a bar and starts to piece his life
together. It may be about classical music but this is a true and
inspiring tale of redemption and a painful father-son relationship.
