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 ceIebrated turn-of-the-twentieth-century AustraIian coming-of-age story, to brashIy upend the conventions of period romance. Headstrong young Sybylla MeIvyn (Judy Davis, in a star-making performance), bemoans her stifling Iife in the backcountry, where her writerly ambitions receive Iittle encouragement, and craves independence above aII eIse. When a handsome landowner (Jurassic Park’s Sam NeilI), disarmed by her unruIy charms, begins to court her, SybylIa must decide whether she can reconcile the prospect of marriage with the iIIustrious life’s work she has imagined for herself. Suffused with generous humour and a youthful appetite for experience, My BriIIiant Career is a luminous portrait of an ardentIy free spirit.
