Movie Reviews of The Piano
Movie Review: The Piano
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent story - Holly Hunter does a superior job at her part. I've always liked Sam Neill's work, and Harvey Keitel fits his part so well. Anna Paquin as the little girl connects with the plot in a special way. And a great surprise end!
Summary of The Piano
Ada is a mute woman who travels with her daughter and piano from scotland to bush country new zealand for an arranged marriage to a wealthy landowner. The relationship sours when her husband trades her beloved piano to their neighbor baines. Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 02/01/2005 Starring: Holly Hunter Harvey Keitel Run time: 121 minutes Rating: R Director: Jane CampionJane Campion's The Piano struck a deep chord (if you'll excuse the expression) with audiences in 1993, who were mesmerized by the film's rich, dreamlike imagery. It is the story of a Scottish woman named Ada (Holly Hunter), who has been mute since age 6 because she simply chose not to speak. Ada travels with her daughter Flora (Anna Paquin) and her beloved piano to a remote spot on the coast of New Zealand for an arranged marriage to a farmer (Sam Neill). She gives piano lessons to a gruff neighbor (Harvey Keitel) who has Maori tattoos on his face, and, well, things develop from there. The picture takes on a powerful dream logic that simply defies synopsis. It's a breathtakingly beautiful and original achievement from Campion, a unique stylist. The Piano won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and Oscars for Hunt, Paquin, and Campion's screenplay. --Jim Emerson
