Biografía y filmografía

Jane Campion

Directora y guionista de cine neozelandesa. Nació en Wellington, Nueva Zelanda, su padre era director de ópera y teatro y su madre actriz y escritora. Estudió en el College of Arts de Sydney (donde a principios de la década de 1980 realizó su primer cortometraje, Tissues) y en la Australian Film, Television and Radio School (donde en 1982 rodó Peel, película que obtuvo en Cannes la Palma de Oro al mejor cortometraje). Tissues es una comedia negra que trata de un padre acusado de incesto, tema que también aparece en su primera película, Sweetie, realizada en 1989. Campion fue a la vez criticada y alabada por la forma en que trataba en esta obra temas tan delicados como la tensión emocional y el hundimiento moral. Su siguiente película, Un ángel en mi mesa (1990), está basada en la autobiografía de la escritora neozelandesa Janet Frame y se centra especialmente en el tema de la locura. El piano (1993, producción australiano/francesa), tal vez su película más famosa, obtuvo la Palma de Oro en el festival de Cannes. En ella se narra la historia de Ada, una mujer muda que es enviada a Nueva Zelanda para contraer matrimonio. Esta película surgió del deseo de Campion de rodar una película con una narrativa lineal basada en la historia de su propio país. A continuación ha realizado Retrato de una dama (1996), sobre un relato de Henry James, y Holy Smoke (1999).
