Feminist Frequency Radio

We’re kicking off a month of episodes dedicated to the work of pioneering female directors, and to get us started, we’ll be talking about Jane Campion’s 1993 Oscar-winning film, The Piano. Writer, raconteur, podcast host, and our special guest, Kat Spada, joins our discussion as we grapple with an undeniable masterpiece of a film that is simultaneously racist and which presents a deeply troubling “love” story built upon coercion. Can we reconcile the more pernicious and problematic aspects of this film with its magnetic sensualism, compelling performances, and gorgeous filmmaking?Time Stamps:54:41 - What’s your Freq Out?Kat on the HBO Max series, Sort OfEbony on the Netflix series, Inventing AnnaSubmit your own FREQ out at feministfrequency.com/FREQOUTLinks Mentioned:Sam Neill’s IG - instagram.com/twopaddocksFollow Kat:twitter.com/kat_ex_machinaKat’s podcast: twitter.com/90210blazeFollow Us:Join our PatreonOur WebsiteSubscribe to FFR on Apple PodcastsSubscribe to our Star Trek PodcastTwitterInstagramtwitch.tv
