With the release of the Piano, a powerfully emotional story set in nineteenth-century New Zealand about a woman’s sexual awakening, the New Zealand—born Jane Campion has established herself as one of the most talented female filmmakers to come upon the scene in recent years. The film not only received praiseful reviews from critics and moviegoers but won the Cannes Film Festivals top prize the Palme D’Or, making Campion the first woman over to be so honored. Campion's success is notable also because she is a relative newcomer to the film world: the forty-year-old director has made just three features (including The Piano), a television movie, and a handful of shorts dating from her student days.
Although Campion’s films appear at first glance to have little in common—her first feature, Sweetie, is a very honest (some would say cruelly unfeeling) portrait of a dysfunctional family and her second, An Angel at My Table, is a sympathetic biography of the new Zealand novelist Janet Frame-each reflects her feeling for strong-willed, often misunderstood women who refuse, or are unable to give themselves up to their respective societies' definitions of womanhood. According to David Sterritt writing in the Christian Science Monitor, The Piano "gain much of its effectiveness from Campions directing style, which combines the dreamlike atmosphere of her early film Sweetie with the sensitivity to feelings that made her last movie An Angel at My Table, so extraordinary." Also contributing to the film’s success was Campion's ability to induce fine performances from her character. "She directs actors differently from anyone I’ve ever known," Sam Neil told Paul Freeman in an interview for the Chicago Tribute"I always felt that there was a big safety net under the and that I was permitted to take as many risks as I wanted to." Genevieve Lemon, who had played the title role in Sweetie and took the supporting role of Nessie in The Piano, agreed Campion is already at work on her next project an adaptation of Henry Jaures's novel The Portrait of a Lady.
