Leslie Felperin, discussing the erotic dynamic of another film, takes her measure from Holly Hunter's performance in The Piano: the relationship there recalls the sexual chemistry between Hunter's mute, cerebral Ada and Harvey Keitel's gone-native Baines. The fact here is not that performance itself but its serving as a unit of measure, Felperin reaching for an old performance in order to describe a new film's relationship. Both adjectives belong to the writer, mute and cerebral.
