A major highlight in that regard was Jane Campion’s The Piano, whose 4K restoration and re-release is opening at SF’s Roxie Theater this Fri/7. Settler spouse-to-be Alisdair (Neill) cannot orchestrate its further transport to the house he shares with various female relatives, well inland. He agrees to take the piano into his own abode and let Ada have free access, so long as she provides lessons in return. The sum effect is a bit as if late gay faerie-culture favorite James Broughton had made a full-length screen fiction. As usual, Roth (who also plays the leads’ father) tips hat to prior horror hits in a somewhat tongue-in-cheek fashion.
