"The Piano"
1993
Directed by Jane Campion

Holly Hunter's Oscar-winning performance as a mute woman dedicated to her music takes center stage in this lush drama set in 19th century New Zealand. Harvey Keitel co-stars as the brutish but sensitive man who gives her back what seemed irrevocably lost. A young Anna Paquin more than holds her own with a performance that garnered this new star an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.  121 minutes.
