问题      With the release of The Piano, a powerfully emotional story set in nineteenth-century New Zealand about a woman’s sexual awakening, the New Zealand-born Jane Campion has established herself as one of the most talented female filmmakers to come upon the scene in recent years. The film not only received praiseful reviews from critics and moviegoers but also won the Cannes Film Festival’s top prize, the Palme D’Or, making Campion the first woman ever to be so honored. Campion’s success is notable also because she is a relative newcomer to the film world: the director was only forty years old and she has made just three features (including The Piano), a television movie, and a handful of shorts dating from her student days.
     Although Campion’s films appear at first glance to have little in common—her first feature, Sweetie, is a very honest portrait of a dysfunctional family and her second, An Angel at My Table, is a sympathetic biography of the New Zealand novelist Janet Frame—each reflects her feeling for strong-willed, often misunderstood women who refuse, or are unable, to give themselves up to their respective societies’ definitions of womanhood.
     According to David Sterritt, writing in the Christian Science Monitor, The Piano "gains much of its effectiveness from Campion’s directing style, which combines the dreamlike atmosphere of her early film Sweetie with the sensitivity to feelings that made her last movie, An Angel at My Table, so extraordinary." Also contributing to the film’s success was Campion’s ability to induce fine performances from her character. "She directs actors in a different way from anyone I’ve ever known," Same Neill told Paul Freeman in an interview for the Chicago Tribune. "I always felt that there was a big safety net under me and that I was permitted to take as many risks as I wanted to." Genevieve Lemon, who had played the title role in Sweetie and took the supporting role of Nessie in The Piano, agreed. Campion is already at work on her next project, an adaptation of Henry James’s novel The Portrait of a Lady.
David Sterritt is most likely to attribute the success of The Piano to ______.
