Cast:

Holly Hunter, Anna Paquin, Harvey Keitel

Jane Campion became the first female winner of the Palme d’Or for her masterpiece about a mute woman’s rebellion in newly colonised Victorian-era New Zealand.

Soundtracked by an evocative Michael Nyman score, it won Oscars for Holly Hunter and Anna Paquin in career-defining roles and Best Screenplay for Campion’s individualistic, female-centric script. We are delighted to be re-releasing a digital restoration, approved by Campion, in the film’s 25th anniversary year.

Hunter (who has an impressive three screen credits; besides her starring role, she played all of the piano pieces and served as sign language teacher for Paquin) gives a majestic silent performance as Ada McGrath, the mute Scotswoman and talented pianist who arrives with her strong-willed young daughter Flora (Paquin) on the New Zealand shores.

She is to marry landowner Alistair Stewart (Sam Neill), but takes an immediate dislike to him after he refuses to carry her beloved piano home, instead selling it to his overseer George Baines (Harvey Keitel). Attracted to Ada, George agrees to return the piano in exchange for lessons that gradually become a series of erotically charged encounters. As the story unfolds like a Greek tragedy, all of the characters’ long suppressed emotions come to the fore.

Concerning itself with Campion’s prevailing theme – women on the edge of societal norms (arriving after 1989’s Sweetie and An Angel at My Table and before Portrait of a LadyHoly Smoke, In the Cut, Bright Star and her acclaimed HBO/BBC TV series Top of the Lake) – The Piano remains Campion’s most definitive work, a tale of immediate urgency and tremendous expressive power by one of the most compelling filmmakers at work today.

Please note: The Piano has been critiqued for its depictions of indigenous Maori people in a story about colonialism, power, exploitation and sexuality (see ‘Romanticising Colonialism: Power and Pleasure in Jane Campion’s The Piano‘).
