| Shadows of the Peacock |
Following the death of her father and the realisation of her husband's infidelity, Maria McEvoy (Wendy Hughes) abandons her middle class life, including her three children (a teenaged Claudia Karvan among them) and takes off to Thailand.
When she falls under the spell of Raka (John Lone,
M. Butterfly), an exiled traditional Balinese dancer, she must choose between him and her former existence.
Directed by Phillip Noyce,
Shadows of the Peacock was one of Hughes' last major Australian films before she embarked on a career in the USA.
