Afflicted with mental and emotional issues, Janet Frame grows up in an impoverished family and experiences numerous tragedies in her youth, including the deaths of two of her siblings. Frame finds acclaim for her writing while in a mental institution, and her success helps her move on with her life.
In her breakthrough feature, New Zealand’s Jane Campion brings to the screen a Künstlerroman in tribute to her much-overlooked compatriot, writer Janet Frame: a woman who’s unexpected win of a literary prize in 1951 saved her from a lobotomy. A film tripartite in structure, and immaculately told.
