JANE CAMPION, LA FEMME CINÉMA

A pioneer among filmmakers, JANE CAMPION remains the first woman to have won the Palme d’Or at Cannes, for The Piano. In 40 years of work, she has carved out a unique place for herself in the very masculine pantheon of cinema. A visual and iconoclastic director, a subtle portraitist of the human soul and women, Jane Campion is also a furtive filmmaker, at once discreet and whimsical, gentle and impertinent, and at times misunderstood. For the first time, filmmaker JULIE BERTUCCELLI draws the portrait she deserves, in a film that is unapologetically subjective and offbeat, very much mirroring Jane’s own trailblazing journey in cinema and life.
