The Piano (1993)

It's a rare and lovely treat that, in the wake of a movie as powerfully haunting as The Piano, we are offered not a drecky novelization in paperback but the script itself. Though this is a story of a mute woman -- who leaves Scotland with her daughter and piano to marry a man in New Zealand she's never met -- the dialogue is even more poetic than a viewer will remember. As a bonus, interspersed throughout are beautiful sepia-toned photographs of the characters and the stunning film locations. A+
