The original meaning of the word “piano” is “quiet” or “soft,” so when Kemal’s uncle Kerim admonishes him by saying Piano Piano Kid, he’s encouraging him to go through life softly. Uncle Kerim hopes to improve the family fortunes by using his numismatic scholarship to make a great deal on old coins. The boy lives in his family’s boarding house, surrounded by interesting and eccentric, but kindhearted people. His father is thoroughly addicted to gambling, and aside from rents paid by their tenants, the family makes most of its money through the efforts of Kemal’s mother in her acting jobs. Though his parents often argue, it is also clear that they love one another. This sweet family drama is set in Istanbul in the 1940s, and won a “Best Director” award in the 1991 Istanbul Film Festival. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie GuideRead More »
