Plot Synopsis
Set in 1851, Ada, mute and with a young daughter underfoot, arrives in New Zealand for a prearranged marriage. Stewart, her newlywed, practical husband, first refuses to transport Ada's prized piano, and ultimately ends up selling it to a neighbor. When the neighbor asks Ada to be his piano teacher, she is reluctant to pay the high price necessary to regain access to her cherished instrument.http://www.reelviews.net/movies/p/piano.html -
Reviews
"It is one of those rare movies that is not just about a story, or some characters, but about a whole universe of feeling - of how people can be shut off from each other, lonely and afraid, about how help can come from unexpected sources, and about how you'll never know if you never ask."—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Timeshttp://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19931119/REVIEWS/311190302/1023"The Piano is a solid motion picture with a universal message and occasional splashes of genius, but it is remarkable only as Holly Hunter's performance is concerned. While it's true that individuals will attribute a different importance to the various flaws, there exists the possibility that anyone going to see The Piano with the expectation of watching the best movie of the year, will leave the theater disappointed."—James Berardinelli, ReelViewshttp://www.reelviews.net/movies/p/piano.html

Dunno why, but i have MUNCHIE on and Fred Olen Ray is on the piano. This movie has to get some bonus points for that alone.
