Description

Product description 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.

  • Charmingly done for a great story
This film sensitively portrays both the Māori and the English in the decades following the Waitangi Treaty of 1840, which remains a foundational constitutional document for New Zealand. It's a multi-dimensioned, multi-cultural love story with a powerful ending. Much of the dialogue is in Te Reo Māori [the Māori language], which is a strong point for the film. I'll say no more than "watch it", as I plan to do more than once. ... show more

  • ethereal...simply breathtaking!!!
warning: watching this movie will put you in a dreamlike and emotionally charged and effected state for hours after you watch it, for me it was days. I have never seen a movie that has had such a profound effect on the people who view it, myself included. It is not the kind of emotional experiance where you cry throughout the movie. It is the kind that makes you gasp and keeps you motionless. The plot could be seen as a simple love triangle, between the mute woman Ada (Holly Hunter), her husband of an arranged marrage (Sam Neil) and her slightly gruff and seclusive neighbor (Harvey Keitel). It is much more than that, it is also a story about Ada's love for her Piano. The love for her tool to speak. The way her neighbor George Bains understands this love and her husband does not. The casting for the movie is perfect. Holly Hunter does not speak, nor does she cry and wail when she is angry or sad. She simply FEELS, and we can easily see what she is feeling without her showing us. Her Academy Award was well deserved. Anna Paquin, who also recieved an Academy Award for her performance as Ada's mischivous but angleic daughter, is brilliant. Sam Neil's charachter is not as developed as some of the others. But the sadness seen in his eyes makes you wonder what bad things have happened to him in tha past, for you can tell by how easily he gets frusterated with Ada that something else has happened. Harvey Keitel has played a difficult character, because he makes a very crude offer to Ada concerning how she can get her Piano back. Written on a peice of paper, George Bains would seem like a perverted creep...but Keitel plays his character with warmth, and immediatly you know that Bains knows what he is doing, and you trust him. The real supporting cast would also have to be the cinematography and the music. Both contribute an intensity to the film that is priceless. A Tip: watch this movie at night or when you have a whole day off, it will alter your mood for the day. ... show more

  • George falls desperately in love with Ada but feels that such a lovely refined ...
Hollie Hunter (Ada) and Anna Pacquin won Oscars for their roles in this film. Harvey Keitel should have won an Oscar for his portrayal of George the hopelessly lovesick man who slowly tries to win Ada's affection but he wasn't even nominated, a gross oversight by the Academy. Ada who by choice hasn't spoken a word since she was six years old and who has an illegitimate child is married off by her father to a man living in New Zealand whom she has never met. Ada brings her precious piano with her. After being left on the beach overnight Ada's husband arrives on foot with George and some natives to bring Ada and her belongings to her new home. However there are not enough men to carry the piano so to Ada's horror it is left on the beach. Ada's husband doesn't understand what the piano means to her but George quickly realizes that the piano is a part of Ada. It's her voice and her spirit. This all happens in the first thirty minutes of the movie. George falls desperately in love with Ada but feels that such a lovely refined and educated woman as she would find him repulsive. The scenes of him longing for Ada are so touchingly beautiful. I would recommend this hauntingly beautiful love story to anyone who appreciates the amazing talent of Harvey Keitel. This in my opinion was his best work. I personally could have done without the explicit fully nude love scenes. The movie didn't need that. In fact it would have been better without it. ... show more

  • A grave in the deep deep sea...
Simply fantastic. I dont have much else to say besides that. Obviously I missed this when it first came out (I was five at the time) but I stumbled upon this gem last night and was completely mesmerized. Holly Hunter gives such a haunting performance and I absolutely loved her daughter. I thought the characters were very fleshed out even the ones who didn't get a lot of screen time. I didn't look away for a moment. It is beautiful and thoughtful even though I would imagine some people had issues with some of the themes - I doubt it will ruin much but lets just say some old fashion bartering between what a man wants and a woman getting what she wants turns into something so much more. I have no qualms with this but have seen it come up in reviews - welcome to the time period actually welcome to the world as a whole. The one thing I would really recommend when you watch the movie (whether you have seen it before or not) is to let her voice fill your ears at the very end and then fully enjoy the ending music for the credits. It rolls together wonderfully. I think it really helps hit home the fact that you can invoke deep motion through music and sound. Enjoy it, love it, revel in it. Let's just say I am very happy I watched this movie. ... show more
