Jane 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

I had wanted to see `The Piano' for years, since I was about fifteen I think. I remember reading this extensive review for it lauding it as one of the most deeply moving and touching films of the 20th century. It took me until early this year before I actually got around to seeing it, and I must say that after a slew of repeat viewings I can honestly understand why that review held this film on such a pedestal. `The Piano' may to many seem like there is not much to it, or that what is here is ...

After viewing this film more than a few times, I asked myself why I enjoyed this film so much. I really didn't like what I found. This film showed me what is wrong but appealing in society. I do stand by my five stars because the textures and postive aspects this movie has to offer are inumerable. Although...
A look at the "dark" notes: 1) We must as ourselves in this modern society is it right to cast a very young minor in a lead role in a movie she shouldn't be allowed to watch. 2) a sex ... Read More

The Piano was an amazing movie with great meaning and acting - especially Anna Paquin, Holly Hunter, and Harvey Keitel. I loved the music and the mute aspect. I admit I had to watch this twice to get the meaning and understand what was going on inside the character's heads. The first time I watched it I felt sorry for the husband, but I understood the nuances better the second time around. The setting, aside from the mud, was gorgeous, makes me want to visit New Zealand. And the music is wonderful!

You try. You try again. You try a third time. Finally, you simply throw up your hands, turn it off, and flip over to a "Law and Order" rerun. I"m aware of the film's reputation, its awards etc. I just simply cannot "get into it". I realize that my entire career is riding on a positive review. But, at least I realize now what Henry Clay said about 170 years ago: "I'd rather be right than President". Or, Clayton Moore to Jay Silverheels in 1949: "You ride into town for supplies,Tonto, while ... Read More
