From the Director of "The Piano". 'An indisputable triumph' The Sunday Times. 'Campion handles her subject with such compassion and quiet humour..a loving, moving film' Barry Norman, Film '90

'An Angel at my Table' is the internationally acclaimed second film by Oscar-winning director Jane Campion ('The Piano', 'Portrait of a Lady', 'Holy Smoke'). It is an extraordinarily moving celebration of the life of Janet Frame, New Zealand's most distinguished author, based on her autobiographical trilogy. The film follows Janet through her poor childhood in the Depression and her growing fascination with literature; her painfully shy student days and subsequent treatment for misdiagnosed schizophrenia; and finally on her travels to Europe where she samples Bohemian life and achieves international success as a writer. Kerry Fox ('Intimacy', 'Shallow Grave') is outstanding in the leading role of the adult Janet.
