Incredible Performances and Top-Notch Direction, make this piano worth buying!

Rating: 8/10 (1 April 2010)

Jane Campion's 'The Piano' has Increidlbe Performances, which look even better for Campion's top-notch direction. A story about a mute pianist and her daughter, set during the mid-19th century in a rainy, muddy frontier New Zealand backwater, comes a story worth watching and remembering!
'The Piano' has a terrific start, an okay middle, but a fascinating end. It's a film that has a lot of sex, it's a film that has it's heart at the right place. Campion won the Academy Award for Original Screenplay and she deserved it hands down!
Holly Hunter and Anna Paquin deliver Incredible Performances. Hunter as a mute pianist proves her potential, despite winning the Academy Award for Best Actress for her work in here, she has still remained as a underrated actress. It's sad to know that the industry doesn't offer her the roles she truly deserves. Anna Paquin, on the other hand, at the age of 11 won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She's a legend! In other performances, Harvey Keitel is wonderful. Sam Neill is superb, delivering one of the finest performances of his life.
'The Piano' is a must see film. It's a film that has potential. Thumbs Up!
