La Pianiste (The Piano Teacher)
A French film from 2001. It's about an exceptional musician/instructor who does not know how to love. She has dedicated her life to her music, and now begins to feel the emptiness caused by what she's missed. She makes some VERY strange choices. It has some cringe-worthy "Irreversible"-type moments in it, but it will certainly stimulate discussion afterward.
The star of the movie has a short interview in the special features. Her description of her role makes it almost seem like she's talking about the wrong movie.
