Daniel Roher adopts an 'apocaloptimist' worldview, balancing concerns about AI's risks with the belief in shaping a better future.
The quirky crime thriller Tuner follows Niki, a young piano tuner with acute absolute pitch, as he makes his rounds among an upscale New York clientele. At the film's outset, we meet his aging, hard-of-hearing mentor and wife (Dustin Hoffman, Tovah Feldshuh), ersatz parents who will soon recede into the background of this genre trope mashup. There are East European gangsters, Asian drug traffickers, safecracking, robbery, extortion, a killing, an encrypted wire transfer, a romcom meet-cute, even an onstage music competition.
