About this event
FilmFrom award-winning director Jane Campion (THE POWER OF THE DOG) comes this new restoration of this 3x Oscar award winning film, supervised and approved by Campion and cinematographer Stuart Dryburgh.
Ada, mute since birth, her nine year old daughter and her piano arrive to an arranged marriage in the remote bush of nineteenth century New Zealand. Of all her belongings her husband refuses to transport the piano and it is left behind on the beach. Unable to bear its certain destruction, Ada strikes a bargain with an illiterate tattooed neighbor. She may earn her piano back if she allows him to do certain things while she plays; one black key for every lesson. The arrangement draws all three deeper and deeper into a complex emotional, sexual bond remarkable for its naïve passion and frightening disregard for limits.
Ranked at #50 on the BFI Sight & Sound poll of the Greatest Films of All Time, THE PIANO is not one to miss seeing on the big screen!
