A movie night with a finely tuned ear for suspense and subtext
With The Piano Tuner, filmforum Duisburg presents a work on July 14, 2026, at 20:00 that condenses sound, seduction, and thrills into a dense screen experience. The film runs at filmforum, Dellplatz 16, as a 107-minute performance suitable for ages 12 and up, leading a sensitive young piano tuner into a whirlpool of talent, danger, and subtle irony.

When hearing becomes the main character
Niki White, played by Leo Woodall, reportedly has an absolute, even an exaggerated sense of hearing: Everything sounds too loud in his head, he wears earplugs yet remains alert to the fine frictions of the world. This is where the film derives its tension. Critics describe the character as highly sensitive, charming, and vulnerable; the production relies on a mix of thriller, romcom, social criticism, and chamber play.

Sound, seduction, and a dangerous pull
Director Daniel Roher combines in his feature film debut, according to industry critics, a precisely visualized genre mix with a light hand. The result is not a loud spectacle, but a finely balanced suspense arc in which music, crime, and emotional dependencies intertwine. The presence of Leo Woodall and the ensemble featuring Dustin Hoffman and Havana Rose Liu are particularly highlighted.
