The Piano (1993)

Carolina and Robin go down under to discuss the feminist classic that is Jane Campion's The Piano (1993).  Politics include: life in the 1800s being pretty sucky for women, the unbearable weight of English cricket club politics being transferred to a small village in New Zealand, the on-the-ground horrors of colonialism, and how falling in love with Harvey Keitel may be harder than it seems. Plus the most haunting music you've ever heard played on an empty beach.  If you like what you hear, please rate and subscribe to the show wherever you're listening, it will help others find the pod.
