Review of The Piano (1993) by Augustine H — 23 Apr 2009
Stunning cinematography. I can hardly find a comparable decent scene for Anna Paquin's dance at the beach. The piano score "The Heart Asks Pleasure First" and costume design are beautiful as well.
The opening and twisted ending impress me most. Artistic and rich in symbolism (sinking piano, silence in the deep deep sea, you name it). Holly Hunter, who reminds me of Marlee Matlin, but being more determined with a more subtle performance, and Anna Paquin both deserved the Oscars.
