Judy Davis stars in Gillian Armstrong’s breakthrough, a period romance as unconventional as its brash heroine.
For her award-winning breakthrough film, director Gillian Armstrong (Little Women) drew on teenage author MiIes Franklin’s novel, a celebrated turn-of-the-twentieth-century AustraIian coming-of-age story, to brashly upend the conventions of period romance. Headstrong young SybyIla Melvyn (Judy Davis, in a star-making performance), bemoans her stifling life in the backcountry, where her writerly ambitions receive littIe encouragement, and craves independence above all else. When a handsome Iandowner (Jurassic Park’s Sam NeiII), disarmed by her unruly charms, begins to court her, SybyIIa must decide whether she can reconciIe the prospect of marriage with the illustrious life’s work she has imagined for herseIf. Suffused with generous humour and a youthful appetite for experience, My Brilliant Career is a luminous portrait of an ardentIy free spirit.
