Recent Academy Award winner Jane Campion brings to the screen the harrowing true-life story of New Zealand’s most distinguished author, Janet Frame.
The film follows Frame along her inspiring journey, from a poverty-stricken childhood to a misdiagnosis of schizophrenia and electroshock therapy to, finally, international literary fame. Beautifully capturing the colour and power of the New Zealand landscape, the film earned Campion a sweep of her country’s film awards and the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival. 1990, 154 mins, R.
