If you loved In Absentia, try The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Stephen Quay, Timothy Quay, and they both carry the slow burn, surreal mood tags. If that's the register that drew you to In Absentia, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes is
The Brothers Quay do love a sinister fairytale. A mad doctor kidnaps an opera singer to turn her into a singing automaton. A piano tuner then arrives, perhaps too late, at the doctor's bizarre mountaintop estate. It is, if nothing else, a very specific vibe.
