Jane Campion's masterpiece, Palme d'Or 1993

"A FILM THAT HAS IT ALL: BEAUTY AND INTELLIGENCE, EMOTION AND GRACE."
LE MONDE
New Zealand, 19th century. Ada, mother of a nine-year-old girl, is about to share her life with a stranger, deep in the bush. Her new husband agrees to transport all her possessions, with the exception of the most precious one: a piano, which ends up with an illiterate neighbor. Unable to resign herself to this loss, Ada accepts the deal proposed by the latter: to regain the piano, key by key, by submitting to his whims…
Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1993, The Piano is the third film by New Zealand filmmaker Jane Campion, after the acclaimed Sweetie and An Angel at My Table. The screenwriter-director brilliantly plays with the codes of classicism to tell the story of this high-tension erotic love triangle, magnificently embodied by Holly Hunter (Crash), Harvey Keitel (Reservoir Dogs) and Sam Neill (Jurassic Park). With its enchanting landscapes and intoxicating music, The Piano is a delicate yet fiery depiction of passionate love, available for the first time in 4K Ultra HD™ (presented in Dolby Vision™ [HDR10 compatible]) and Blu-ray™ in its new 4K restoration supervised and approved by Jane Campion and cinematographer Stuart Dryburgh.
