The Piano is a 1993 New Zealand drama film about a mute piano player and her daughter, set during the mid-19th century in a rainy, muddy frontier backwater town on the west coast of New Zealand. It revolves around the musician's passion for playing the piano and her efforts to regain her piano after it is sold.
The Piano was written and directed by Jane Campion and stars Holly Hunter, Harvey Keitel, Sam Neill, and Anna Paquin in her first acting role.
The film's score by Michael Nyman became a best-selling soundtrack album, and Hunter played her own piano pieces for the film.
She also served as sign language teacher for Paquin, earning three screen credits.

Very literary but not really my thing. Biographical, weepy, unusual setting. The brutal violent bullshit is stomach churning. And for what? The story seems trivial beyond belief. ABM 1.5/3
