The Piano

Jane Campion / AU, NZ, FR, 1992 / 121 min.

Bold power play and sexual awakening in 19th-century New Zealand. A woman takes control of her own life in this magnificent tale of love. The BBC’s Culture critics’ poll voted The Piano as best film ever by a female director. Jane Campion is the only female filmmaker so far to have won the Palme d’Or at Cannes, with this her third feature film. Newly restored.
