An amazing movie. Stars
Holly Hunter as a
mute,
Sam Neill as the man who
mail-orders her as a
bride,
Harvey Keitel as the man who becomes her
lover, and
Anna Paquin as her
daughter (from an
affair before the movie begins). It has amazing
cinematography (I believe it takes place in
Australia), a great
plot, and astounding
music.
Unfortunately, this movie was nearly ruined for me by the stupid final scene that Jane Campion, the director, had to put in to soothe the stupid American public. I think it's really lame that the American public can't handle an ending where either the good guy doesn't win or there is no happy ending.
