Ada eventually relents and floats to the surface, to begin what the film's epilogue suggests will be a happier life: but the The Piano's Oscar-winning screenwriter and director, Jane Campion, has revealed she wishes she had gone a step further and consigned her heroine to a permanent resting place beneath the waves. In an interview with the Radio Times to discuss her new project with Hunter, the six-part BBC2 TV series Top of the Lake, Campion says she has fond memories of the Palme d'Or and Oscar-winning 1993 film – but would have considered changing the ending had she shot it now. "I thought some of it was really good, but I thought, 'For freaking hell's sake, she should have stayed under there'," Campion said. "It would be more real, wouldn't it, it would be better? I didn't have the nerve at the time. What if Ada just went down, she went down with her piano – that's it." Hunter, who won a best actress Oscar for her performance as Ada McGrath, said during the same interview that she would have kept the scene. "That was something Jane toyed with when we shot the movie, to end it there," said the US actor. "And she's still thinking about it! Me, I love that it's a reverie for Ada, not a nightmare or something that haunts her. It soothes her." Top of the Lake stars Hunter as an androgynous guru who arrives on New Zealand's South Island with her female followers to the bemusement and anger of the locals. The series also features Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss, who plays a detective investigating the disappearance of a pregnant 12-year-old girl, as well as David Wenham and Peter Mullan. It begins on Saturday 13 July at 9.10pm on BBC2.
