The Beat That My Heart Skipped DVD

Rising star Romain Duris gives an extraordinarily intense performance as a young man torn between a life of crime and music in Jacques Audiard's smash hit noir thriller. Set in a seedy and dangerous Paris underworld, Duris plays Tom, who seems set to follow the crooked path of his sleazy father as a ruthless and unscrupulous property dealer. But a chance encounter with an associate of his late concert pianist mother reawakens Tom's own musical ambitions and hopes of a more fulfilling life. A triumphant remake of James Toback's cult 1978 film 'Fingers', 'The Beat' is a gripping, complex and sometimes brutal drama that has electrified critics an audiences the world over.
