GO  WOMAN WITHOUT PIANO (Spain/France) As her cab-driving husband innocently sleeps, a mild-mannered, middle-aged wife throws on a wig, packs a bag and heads out into the night to ... well, what exactly? It’s the tease of not knowing that powers director Javier Rebollo’s charming and mysterious comedy-drama. Carmen Machi beautifully portrays the film’s pokerfaced heroine, and although her midnight encounters with hookers and runaways may initially seem inconsequential, Woman Without Piano strengthens its emotional hold as darkness turns to dawn and Rebollo’s episodic narrative evolves into a treatise on loneliness, aging and new beginnings. Your patience for the film’s randomness will be richly rewarded — even its title hides secret revelations. (Mann Chinese 6, Sun., Nov. 1, 4 p.m.) (TG)
