So, 'The Action Man' is quite the gem, isn't it? It's this documentary that takes you deep into the world of piano restoration, focusing on Franco Skilan. The way the film captures the meticulous work on a 1877 Steinway Centennial Grand is fascinating. You really get a sense of the craftsmanship involved, and the ambient sounds of the piano being worked on create this almost meditative atmosphere. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to savor each moment, and the themes of dedication and artistry really come through. It's not flashy, but there’s a charm in the rawness of it all. You see the man behind the piano, which is refreshing and kind of intimate. Definitely has its own distinct voice.
