About this title: Ada, together with her nine-year-old illegitimate daughter Flora, and her piano, leave Scotland to arrive in the remote bush of 19th-century New Zealand for a marriage arranged by her father. Although mute, she does not consider herself silent as her piano is the vehicle of her expression.

"From the simple screenplay, I know the movie's going to be powerful. It relies on a lot of clean descriptions and emotions, there are little dialogue so they have to be good.
I don't learn a lot about specifics, but I do get a glimpse of how to describe, how to engage audience so powerfully with scenes, and how to direct the casts using sheets of scripts.
"This was kind of an odd book, but because it was so odd it kept me reading. It focuses on love in a strange erotic kind of way. It was a quick read and more enjoying than most short stories."
"I liked the film very much, so it was interesting to read the screenplay, which includes quite a lot of explanation and thoughts about the story. I also have a novel version which Jane Campion wrote from the screenplay, but haven't got round to that version yet."
