AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Claire Corbett offers a richly personal account of working as second assistant editor on The Piano. Her story unfolds both as a look behind the scenes at the unfamiliar world of the feature film cutting room, the technical processes and work practices, and also the rigid structures at play in the hierarchy of a film crew. Her paper reveals much about the nature of lower echelons of film work, as well as film lore -- well unerstood by crew members but rarely made explicit.' (p.xiii)

    'Jane Campion’s The Piano achieved critical acclaim at the Cannes Film Festival in 1993 and followed up by winning three Academy Awards. Piano Lessons is a provocative collection of essays examining the critically acclaimed film. An assembly of international academics, drawn from film and cultural studies disciplines, offers a unique examination of the film through diverse approaches–auteurist, feminist, psychoanalytic, post-colonial, melodrama and romance.'
