Top of the Lake
Thematic DNA

Top of the Lake (Jane Campion, 2013 (New Zealand)) — a series that 26 pathways reach as a destination — converging on the lines of 'Lake holds buried wounds', 'Sacred vessel beside the lake', 'the land speaks first'. This page is a cross-reference rather than an editorially curated pathway: it lists the works whose own pathways pass through Top of the Lake.
