The Piano (Jane Campion 1993) w/ Ms. Sinclair (Talk Movie to Me Podcast)
Felicia is joined once again by Ms. Sinclair (listen to our first episode on Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard) to discuss Jane Campion’s take on women’s liberation in The Piano (1993)
We chat about the character dynamics that Campion likes to explore in her stories, especially between women who seek liberation and the emotionally stunted men who surround them.
Send us your thoughts on the episode - what are your thoughts on the significance of pianos throughout Campion’s body of work? Let us know by sending us a message on any of our social platforms or by email: seeingfacesinmovies@gmail.com
