Erika Kohut is a pianist, teaching music. Schubert and Schumann are her forte, but she's not quite at concert level. She's approaching middle age, living with her mother who is domineering then submissive; Erika is a victim then combative. With her students she is severe. She visits a sex shop to watch DVDs; she walks a drive-in theater to stare at couples having sex. Walter is a self-assured student with some musical talent; he auditions for her class and is forthright in his attraction to her. She responds coldly then demands he let her lead. Next she changes the game with a letter, inviting him into her fantasies. How will he respond; how does sex have power over our other faculties?

Michael Haneke's controversial 2001 film La Pianiste (The Piano Teacher) is a stark exploration of the psychopathology of fantasy. In this article, I will examine how Haneke's approach to the film's narrative and its representation of sexuality parallels the masochistic desires of its lead protagonist with the reflexive positioning of the spectator. I will explore how Haneke's use of genre conventions, which in the case of La Pianiste are derived from romantic melodrama, encourage audience expectation and identification that are then denied by constructing a narrative that utilizes modernist cinematic frameworks. Highlighting Haneke's developing international reputation, La Pianiste is a largely French-funded and entirely French-language production - even though it marked Haneke's return to Austria, where he had created several disturbing visions of contemporary moral putrefaction culminating in the success of his reflexive suspense thriller Funny Games (Haneke, 1997) - and accordingly, I will examine the text with particular reference to French post-Freudian theory, including the work of Gilles Deleuze, whose essay "Coldness and Cruelty"(1967) significantly challengesd traditional psychoanalytical notions of the role of fantasy in masochistic pleasure.

La Pianiste is based on Elfriede Jelinek's 1983 Vienna-set novel Die Klavierspielerin and is Haneke's only adaptation of a literary source for the cinema. With its focus on the themes of fantasy and the construction of sexual identity, both the novel and film are unmistakeably inflected by fin-de-siècle Viennese discourses such as Freudian psychoanalysis and the thematically linked literature of the period typified by the works of Arthur Schnitzler. In fact, the film often seems like a gender-subverted variation on Schnitzler's classic novella Traumnovelle (1926), the main difference being that, unlike Fridolin (Schnitzler's fantasist protagonist), Erika's fantasies are realised - with disastrous results.
