Description
Actress and improvisor Jean Villepique (A.P. Bio) joins to discuss Jane Campion's Oscar-winning classic THE PIANO starring Holly Hunter, Harvey Keitel, Sam Neill and Anna Paquin. The New Zealand-set drama about a mute Scottish pianist, her young daughter, her arranged husband, and her illicit lover became an immediate art house crossover sensation upon its release in 1993, winning the Palme d'Or at Cannes and acting Oscars for both Hunter and Paquin. THE PIANO was praised for its exotic locations, the brutal intimacy of its love triangle, and tender depictions of the Māori people, but can the film be seen differently through a 2020 lens? Find out how these mothers rate the film on the Mama Panic Attack Assessment scale, as well as the debut of Ryan's new segment on home video releases, Let's Talk Physical! All this, plus juicy diversions into Moonstruck, Sigourney Weaver, 1980s New York City, Peter Pan, Dead Calm and Pacific Heights make this a must-hear episode!
