Declaration

film director

“Having been raised by wolves like Steven Spielberg, Robert Zemeckis, Brian De Palma and the Master of Masters Sir Alfred Hitchcock, when I first heard of Grand Piano’s premise, the feral infant film-geek in me sprang out of my heart in a split second, leaving a smile on my face wider than Australia. […] Damien Chazelle, a film director himself, seems to have sculpted the ultimate ‘dream come true’ for any filmmaker who has ever dared ask his agent for a real cinematic challenge. And I’m not overacting here: like Tom’s mentor, Damien is the author of a ‘nearly impossible-to-execute piece.’ With so many elements to put together in perfect synch. […] Grand Piano’s ‘score’ is the metalinguistic fractal sister of La Cinquette itself!”
