The Piano plays on

Holly Hunter, who played a mute Scottish widow in Jane Campion’s The Piano (1993), muses on the unexpected success of the movies. “It was a $5 million movie in New Zealand, and it ended up making $150 million.” The Piano earned a Best Actress Oscar for Hunter, as well as the famous awards to Campion for Best Original Screenplay, and Anna Paquin for Best Supporting Actress.
