WEBVTT - Tuner

0:00:00.340 --> 0:00:03.139
<v Speaker 1>Hello and welcome. This is Now Streaming with Jordan. Harry

0:00:03.180 --> 0:00:06.239
<v Speaker 1>Horwitz is piano tuner and repair. This is Nicky. He

0:00:06.300 --> 0:00:08.440
<v Speaker 1>is my apprentice. He has a hearing condition, but believe

0:00:08.460 --> 0:00:10.820
<v Speaker 1>it or not, he's a virtuoso. Best film I've seen

0:00:10.940 --> 0:00:13.920
<v Speaker 1>all year. The title refers to the piano tuner named

0:00:14.020 --> 0:00:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Nicky Wright, played so well by Leo Woodall. He's got

0:00:16.860 --> 0:00:19.820
<v Speaker 1>a rare talent, perfect pitch, but that talent is also

0:00:19.860 --> 0:00:23.060
<v Speaker 1>a curse. Hyperacusis, a condition that forces him to wear

0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:27.930
<v Speaker 1>headphones because any ordinary sound, particularly a loud sound, is unbearable,

0:00:28.090 --> 0:00:30.950
<v Speaker 1>causing him severe pain. Nicky is an apprentice to the

0:00:31.050 --> 0:00:35.030
<v Speaker 1>old veteran tuner Harry Horowitz, played so lovingly by Dustin Hoffman.

0:00:35.050 --> 0:00:37.830
<v Speaker 1>The film is a lot of things. A story of regret, love,

0:00:38.110 --> 0:00:41.480
<v Speaker 1>and certainly crime. As Nicky, hoping to pay off his

0:00:41.550 --> 0:00:45.600
<v Speaker 1>mentor's medical debts, realizes he's an expert safecracker. He can

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 1>hear the tumblers better than anyone. But he gets involved

0:00:48.140 --> 0:00:51.180
<v Speaker 1>with a dangerous criminal gang, and life sort of spirals

0:00:51.260 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 1>out of control. And one of the more satisfying endings

0:00:53.940 --> 0:00:56.410
<v Speaker 1>you'll see. Tuner is not to be missed. And that's

0:00:56.470 --> 0:00:59.270
<v Speaker 1>now streaming with Jordan WBZ, Boston's News Radio.
