Radiance (1998)
Director: Rachel Perkins
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
This first feature, adapted by Louis Nowra from his own play, reunites three estranged Aboriginal sisters for their mother's funeral, and travels a somewhat familiar road as it explores the women's similarities and differences, hopes and memories, tensions and reconciliations. But the performances are energetic, witty and likeable; the revelations, while specifically reflecting on certain aspects of the Aboriginal experience, are sufficiently frequent and dramatic to grab and hold the attention; and the director does manage to offset the staginess by vivid images and sharp editing.Author: GA
