Review of The Piano (1993) by Ivan D — 23 Oct 2008
This film really and effectively proved that subtlety is a formula for utter brilliance and beauty. Holly Hunter gave a very effective and powerful performance without even saying a single word(Let's not count the narration at the end, shall we).
Sam Neill and Harvey Keitel both gave top-notch performances, and Anna Paquin's unforgettable portrayal of the mute woman's daughter. Eerie and tragic, with a little touch of surrealism made this an unforgettable masterpiece.
And let's not forget the haunting musical score that will certainly stay in your mind for a long time and one day, you will just notice yourself humming it, and you will suddenly realize that the world is a better place, and life is bitter-sweet.
