Pianoforte is a 1984 Italian drama film. It is the debut film of director Francesca Comencini. Pianoforte won the "De Sica" award at the 1984 Venice Film Festival.
For her performance Giulia Boschi, at her film debut, was awarded as best actress at the Rio de Janeiro Film Festival and won a Silver Ribbon for best new actress.
The film is loosely based on the autobiographical experiences of the director, depicting her relationship with journalist (1949 âÂÂ1982) and their struggles with heroin addiction.
Italian critic Tullio Kezich noted: "Viewers are touched by an often painful sincerity, which contrasts with the film's overly polished execution".
