After playing the Telluride Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival last year, Black Bear is getting set to release Tuner this spring in May. First, however, the movie is stopping at the Sundance Film Festival to continue building buzz. Today, in advance of that, a trailer has debuted. Back at TIFF, our own Joey Magidson saw and liked it, reviewing here while finding it “surprising and enjoyable.” In fact, a quote of his from that review can be found in the trailer!
This is what Black Bear has to say about the film:
In TUNER, Academy Award-winning director Daniel Roher’s first narrative feature, Leo Woodall stars as a gifted young piano tuner whose heightened sense of hearing draws the attention of criminals, who see his talents as useful for opening safes as for tuning Steinways.
With his once-promising musical career over, he works across New York with his mentor Harry Horowitz (Academy Award-winner Dustin Hoffman), encountering a range of characters, including composition student Ruthie (Havana Rose Liu), with whom he forges an unexpected connection. Niki’s safecracking work threatens his budding romance with Ruthie and pulls him into increasingly dangerous territory. Blending romance, drama, and the taut suspense of a heist thriller, TUNER also features performances from Tony Award-winner Tovah Feldshuh, Jean Reno, and Lior Raz.
Here now is the official trailer for Tuner:
