New 4K Restoration!

When an arranged marriage brings Ada and her spirited daughter to the wilderness of nineteenth-century New Zealand, she finds herself locked in a battle of wills with both her controlling husband and a rugged frontiersman to whom she develops a forbidden attraction.

“Set against the wild landscape of New Zealand, Campion treats her homeland as a wilderness, framing Ada and Flora as small creatures against the bleak beach or lush jungle – an antipodean imagining of Wuthering Heights’ wily, windy moors. It’s a cliché to say it, but ‘The Piano’ benefits from being viewed in the engulfing dark of a cinema screen, where one can be fully immersed in its rugged landscapes and surrounded by the melodic sound of Nyman’s strings and keys in conversation.” ~ Hannah Strong, Little White Lies
