Frodo, Sauron the Sniper, and the Perfect Piano Concert

Is that a ****ing hobbit?!

Grand Piano (Paramount Pictures), Lord of the Rings (New Line Cinema)

A once-promising pianist returns for a comeback performance, only to be the target of a sniper who will kill him if he plays one wrong note (Wikipedia).

Grand Piano (2013), starring Elijah Wood of Lord of the Rings fame, is in an under-the-radar thriller perfect for anyone who thought the opera scene was the best part of Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (2015).

But keep in mind which movie came first. My money is all in on Tom Cruise being a big fan of hobbits.

Todd Gilchrist, a senior editor for Variety, wrote back in 2013 for IndieWire that Grand Piano is “probably the best Brian De Palma movie he never made.”

There are few modern examples of music being truly integrated into storytelling, certainly as well as this film does, and even without an appreciation for classical composition, there’s much to admire about its use and effectiveness.

Two more WOW reasons to watch Grand Piano

  1. Co stars Alex Winters (Bill from Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure), and he kills it
  2. Written by Damien Chazelle, the phenomenal director of Whiplash/La La Land who showed immense grace during that Moonlight Best Picture slip up at the Oscars
