Jane Campion, the Cinema Woman

Story

DOCUMENTARY A rigorously subjective and unusual look at the work of Oscar-winner Jane Campion (The Power of the Dog) and an ode to film. Jane Campion is a pioneer of women’s film-making: she was the first woman to win the Palme D’Or (for The Piano) and in her 40 years of film-making has carved out a special niche for herself in the male-dominated world of cinema. Julie Bertuccelli paints a portrait of Jane Campion as a subtle observer of the human soul and of women, a film-maker who is at the same time discreet and quirky, gentle and cheeky, and sometimes misunderstood.
