Synopsis wrote:
This ambitious TV movie by Jane Campion was heralded at the 1986 Cannes Film Festival as the arrival of a major new filmmaking voice. Two Friends’s screenplay, by renowned Australian novelist Helen Garner, is articulate, assured, and enthralling. The film begins in the present, when teenage friends Louise and Kelly, once inseparable, have already grown apart. Louise is in high school, gets good grades, and has a typical love-hate relationship with her divorced mother. Kelly, in bleached hair and punk gear, lives with friends at the beach and is experimenting with drugs and casual relationships. Campion then takes the film backward in time over the past year in the girls’ friendship. In five episodes, the film reveals the subtle changes that sent the two on their different paths. With the humor, fierce honesty, and passionate sense of humanity that are the hallmarks of Campion’s best work, she tells a story of missed opportunities and minor traumas that take on profound new meanings with the passage of time.

The post Jane Campion – The Piano (1993) (HD) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

In this wildly inventive film from director Jane Campion (THE PIANO), Kate Winslet stars as Ruth, a headstrong Australian woman determined to get back to India in time to join a group marriage to her guru. Her family, hoping to break the cult leader’s psychic grip on Ruth, hires P.J. (Harvey Keitel), a macho American deprogramming expert teetering on the brink of a nervous breakdown. A no-holds-barred battle of the psyches, cultures, and sexes ensues as P.J. and Ruth fight, connive, and eventually fall into bed together in what becomes a mutual search for individual truth. The strong performances of the two stars, a hilariously offbeat script (cowritten by Campion and her sister, Anna), and a wealth of delicious, texture-enhancing flourishes (including some surreal bits of computer animation, Pam Grier’s work in a small role as P.J.’s partner, and a wild opening sequence set to Neil Diamond’s “Holly Holy”) combine to make HOLY SMOKE! a weird, winning blend of goofy comedy and hallucinatory mysticism.

Review (Geraldine Bloustien, ‘Jane Campion: memory, motif and music’. Continuum)
Passionless Moments, although possibly one of Campion’s most whimsical pieces, has all
the hallmarks of her later films. It is concerned with the insignificant, unsolicited
moments of daydreaming when one is caught almost unawares. The film consists of ten
self-contained vignettes of the sudden thoughts of ten very different individuals.
Classical Hollywood cinema concerns itself with the heightened moments of passion of
individuals with whom we identify in some way because of their bravery, humour, innocence,
heroic qualities and so on. In traditional feature films and documentaries we are usually
introduced to the characters’ backgrounds, motives and problems. However, in Passionless
Moments the characters serve only to illustrate some quirky aspect of human nature and
relationships.

The film is narrated by a detached BBC documentary-styled male voice-over – the voice of
authority – which tells the viewers about each one minute segment of the film as though it
were a highly significant study of life. The technique actually serves a similar function
to the diagram and subheading in Peel. We laugh because we recognise the way we too can
be totally self-absorbed in a sudden idea or thought which for that moment assumes great
significance for us. There is, for example, the child Lindsay Albridge who, on his way
home from an errand, imagines his parcel of beans to be really a bomb that will explode in
twenty seconds if he doesn’t get it home on time. Although each of the characters is
referred to by name, all we learn of him is this one banal moment (out of undoubtedly
many) in his life and which for him at that moment makes him stop his current activity,
assuming great significance for that short span of time. Although we are shown ten very
different individuals it is the similarity of the day-dreaming that we are asked to
consider – as we were with the extreme close-ups of the faces at the end of Peel.

The humour, the way the moments are exaggerated, are underscored by the visual treatment.
A fish-eye lens is used to distort distances as in “Ibrahim makes sense of it”; Ibrahim
contemplates the strangeness of his perception – the fact that from one side of his body
he can see the word ‘Sex’ and from the other side he can see the word ‘Thing’, the words
being on the ends of a single-line aphorism on a painting behind him. As he ponders, the
fan in the room rotates on its axis in the extreme foreground, occupying almost the whole
space of the frame. The movement of the fan repeats the rotating movement that Ibrahim
used at the beginning of the sequence as he practised his yoga. Now he is a still shadowy
figure in the background of the frame. It is as though the animate Ibrahim has become
immobile while the inanimate object, the fan, whirs with apparent life and force – a
humorous visual connection for the viewer between ‘sex’ and ‘thing’.

In several places in Passionless Moments Campion makes use of cut-away shots of fantasy
as in the sudden vision of a room full of scattered denim jeans in “Clear Up Sleepy Jeans”,
in Julie Fry’s vision of a board room where executives ponder the dimensions of paper to
fit on the back of tissue boxes, Angela’s recollection of Rufus (her uncle’s pet pig) and
Ed Tarbrey’s memories of his school football team. In all these segments the fantasy
sequence heightens the humour and our sense of the ridiculous. Animation, which will be
used again to great effect in Campion’s later film Two Friends, is employed here in “There
Are No Woodpeckers in Australia”. The non-diegetic electronic music that was used to
emphasise the sense of wonder and insight in Peel in this film serves to highlight the
gentle satire: Gavin Metcalf who is attempting ‘to put his life in order’ by listening to
the sound of his own ear-drum sees the floating particles of lint and remembers that his
mother said these were fairies.

Synopsis
Here is the story of a curly-haired little redhead who grew up to be one of New Zealand’s best authors, after enduring ordeals that would have put most people into a madhouse. The irony is that she was already in the madhouse, misdiagnosed as a schizophrenic, and subjected to more than 200 electroshock treatments even though there was nothing really wrong with her except for shyness and depression.

Janet Frame is today the author of some 20 novels, books of poetry, plays and autobiographies. The first two books were actually written and published while she was in a mental hospital, and it is possible to wonder if the act of writing them saved her life – giving her a place to order her thoughts in the middle of chaos.

Jane Campion’s “An Angel at My Table” tells her story in a way that I found strangely engrossing from beginning to end. This is not a hyped-up biopic or a soap opera, but simply the record of a life as lived, beginning in childhood with a talented, dreamy girl whose working-class parents loved her, and continuing to follow her as she was gradually shunted by society into a place that almost killed her. Janet is played in the film by three different actresses (from girlhood through her 20s into her 30s, they are Kerry Fox, Alexia Keogh and Karen Fergusson), who have uncanny physical and personality similarities, and so we get a real sense of a life as it unfolds, as things go wrong and a strong spirit struggles to prevail.

Quote:
London 1818: a secret love affair begins between 23 year-old English poet, John Keats (Ben Whishaw), and the girl next door, Fanny Brawne (Abbie Cornish), an out-spoken student of high fashion. This unlikely pair begin at odds, he thinking her a stylish minx, while she was unimpressed not only by his poetry but also by literature in general.

However, when Fanny heard that Keats was nursing his seriously ill younger brother, her efforts to help touched Keats and when she asked him to teach her about poetry he agreed. The poetry soon became a romantic remedy that worked not only to sort their differences, but also to fuel an impassioned love affair.
