Excellent film, but avoid the Zeitgeist release... - [29 Apr 2008]
Along with the majority of reviewers here, I found The Piano Tuner Of Earthquakes to be an immensely enjoyable film. Combining all the signature elements that we've come to expect (and love) from the Quays, with an almost Greenaway-esque sense of narrative...

An Alternative Tuning - [20 Dec 2007]
The Quay brothers are probably best known for their work in pop music videos, and it is a bit ironic that their contribution to Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer is simultaneously their most-viewed endeavor and the one they themselves are least satisfied with...

Baffling pageant - [16 Dec 2007]
This movie demands to be seen more than once. Its surrealism, its involuted logic, and the play between the scenes and the action set in them all hold details that don't reveal themselves fully in the first viewing. It starts with a piano tuner being ...

a dream.perfect... - [11 Dec 2007]
It is difficult enough to describe a dream, even more to understand it. The feeling though, after the dream is over, is something more easy to deal with. This could be a good point to start ( to try ) to describe this work of art. After the film is over...

Beauty and the dreams - [16 Aug 2007]
What an amazing movie - so strange, so romantic, so beautiful, so different, so dreamy, so delicate, so imaginative. This is a film that should be seen if only because it is one of the most beautifully shot films of the last several years. Praised to ...

Exquisite and charged dreamscape - [13 Jul 2007]
As a huge fan of the Quay's last excursion into live action filmmaking ("Institute Benjamenta") I was thrilled at the chance to see another feature from such richly textured imaginations. "Piano Tuner of Earthquakes" actually exceeded my expectations ...

Tedious and difficult - [08 Jun 2007]
The film, The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes is too murky to follow. Murky as to plot and scene. It is dark, obscure and one of those pretentious films critics love to tell the public merits intellectual energy and veiwer attention.

Mechanical automata, life, and desire -- in this strange but lovely film by the Brothers Quay - [16 Feb 2007]
The second full length feature by the inimitable Brothers Quay, "Piano Tuner of Earthquakes" defies summary or comparison with other films. It was, I believe, shot on HD but the look in many shots is as delicate and textured as film -- and has live action...
