About the event
“With THE PIANO, Jane Campion gives us one of the strongest female characters of the late 20th century, entangled in a story that is as vast, as dark, and as deep as the ocean itself.” —The Film Magazine “THE PIANO is a tonic for the tired soul … It offers a complete way of seeing, an uncompromised view of the world by a writer-director whose command of the visual and emotional aspects of filmmaking is fearless and profound.” —The LA Times “Visually sumptuous and tactile.” —Variety “THE PIANO is as peculiar and haunting as any film I’ve seen.” —Roger Ebert Mute pianist Ada (Holly Hunter) arrives in colonial New Zealand with her daughter (Anna Paquin) for an arranged marriage.
