“The Piano”
Came out around 1993. It’s about early settlers in New Zealand. A piano, brought all the way from England, is the unifying thread throughout the story.
The soundtrack is also wonderful.
‘The Piano’ has some nekkedidity, so I don’t know if that’s within Chickensoup’s criteria. But it is a good movie.
Sounds reminiscent of 'The Red Violin'....
Storyline: In present day Montreal, a famous Nicolo Bussotti violin, known as "the red violin," is being auctioned off. During the auction, we flash back to the creation of the violin in 17th century Italy, and follow the violin as it makes its way through an 18th century Austrian monastery, a violinist in 19th century Oxford, China during the Cultural Revolution, and back to Montreal, where a collector tries to establish the identity and the secrets of "the red violin."
Highly recommend if you haven't seen it.
