De Battre Mon Coeur S'est Arrêté (France, 2005)

The winner of 8 César Awards last year(the French Oscars), including Best Picture, this film portrays the life of Tom, a 28-year-old who has a promising career in the real estate business, just like his father. However, his interest has always been the piano. Her mother had been a famous pianist apparently, and he wants to follow her steps. He finds a piano teacher/tutor from China, and starts preparing himself for an audition. He does this in the afternoon after his job. The outcome of this audition will determine his future career. The story includes two love affairs, I guess to make it all more interesting. Nonetheless, the movie is quite entertaining and you might be surprised by the ending that director Jacques Audiard gives to his film.
