Review of The Piano (1993) by Jon G — 06 Apr 2008
A moving, challenging work from New Zealand's Jane Campion. Holly Hunter is sensational as Ada McGrath, a mute by choice Scotswoman sent with her daughter to live with her new husband in a remote Kiwi jungle.
When she meets local farmer Harvey Keitel, issues over her beloved piano make things complicated, then tragic. This truly original story is certainly not for all tastes, but for purposes of sheer craftsmanship and performance, it should not be missed.
