Review of The Piano (1993) by Ting-Jen H — 05 Jul 2008
Jane Campion's "The Piano" is true visual poetry, achingly beautiful, filled with metaphors, allusions and symbolism. Nyman's music is one of the very few film scores which challenge and indeed command the film instead of quietly complementing it.
The intensity of the film as well as its music build up towards the climax that is Ada's scene of her renaissance underwater, which has to be one of the most captivating cinematic moments. Holly Hunter's performance is also remarkable.
