2 Episodes
One of contemporary cinema’s most singular and captivating voices, Jane Campion brings a piercing psychological insight and radiantly expressive visual style to her intense, revelatory explorations of female subjectivity and desire. After winning critical acclaim for her first two theatrical features, the dark comedy SWEETIE and the luminous artistic coming-of-age drama AN ANGEL AT MY TABLE, Campion was vaulted to the front ranks of international auteurs with THE PIANO, a haunting period romance for which she became the first woman awarded the Palme d’Or at Cannes and only the second to be nominated for an Academy Award for best director. Since then, she has continued to fearlessly probe the most intimate dimensions of women’s experiences in heady, highly personal works that display Campion’s unique ability to bring complex inner worlds to mesmerizing life.
