The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes
What they share
Both films are directed by Stephen Quay, Timothy Quay, and they both carry the slow burn, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory.

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.
