Get caught up on the filmography of this year's Oscars frontrunner.
New Zealand-born director Jane Campion has certainly had an amazingly prolific career since her very first short film. Her 1982 short Peel functioned as a practically perfect introduction for herself amongst the filmmaking community, winning the coveted Palme d'Or at the 1986 Cannes Film Festival.
2 Friends 2 Friends may be a television feature, and while that used to be considered an inferior form of cinema, in the current age of streaming it's another story entirely. It's honestly good that attitudes have changed towards smaller budget films as 2 Friends is a wholly unique film that deserves just as much attention as the bigger movies. The plot follows the title to a tee, telling the story of two Australian teens and their friendship with one another.
Much like Sweetie, An Angel at My Table take a very nuanced approach to the topic of mental illness. Neither of these films really directly address if these characters do have a mental condition or not, as their decisions and characteristics feel as if they've been formed by their close relationships and themselves. It's another great example of Campion's attention to detail when it comes to developing complex characters.
Holy Smoke For her sixth feature film, Campion decided to return to her roots and direct a modern story that takes place closer to home. Again, Holy Smoke takes a simple premise and elevates it with some truly engaging and fascinating characters. That premise follows a young Australian woman who is forced by her family to return home under suspicion that she has been indoctrinated into a cult.
Bright Star Much like An Angel at My Table, Bright Star is another historical biopic of a famous writer. This time the subject is poet John Keats, as well as his writing muse and lover, Fanny Brawne. It details the ups and downs of their complicated relationship whilst the fated couple also deals with a jealous suitor who clearly has no love for either of them, but simply wants to cause a rift between them to fulfill his selfish goals.
