The subversive style of the woman who has become one of the world's greatest film directors From Jane Campion's early award-winning short films on through international sensation 'The Piano' and beyond, Kathleen McHugh traces the director's distinctive visual style as well as her commitment to consistently renovating the conventions of "women's films."

Jane Campion’s work shines a spotlight on gender relations, often through complex female characters and an innovative approach to the screen representation of women functioning at the edges of society.
