Filmmaker Julie Bertuccelli draws the portrait that Jane Campion deserves in her unapologetically subjective documentary, mirroring Campion's own indelible body of work.
Brimming with candid anecdotes and a treasure trove of never-before-seen archival footage, this insightful and wildly entertaining documentary by César Award-winning director Julie Bertuccelli charts Jane Campion’s extraordinary life journey from her childhood under theatre-world parents in New Zealand, to her young adulthood as a film school pariah in Sydney (“I didn’t want to compete with the [male students]… I just wanted to tell stories that were so private they couldn’t even imagine them”), to Cannes darling and internationally renowned auteur.
Campion proves a generous raconteur of her own story – with one of the most infectious laughs in the game – in this treat for devotees of her films and fans of mould-breaking artists alike.
Interweaving her commentary with scenes from the films and making-of footage, all of it edited with dexterity by Laure Gardette and Svetlana Vaynblat, the documentary lets Campion’s sense of humour and her sense of purpose shine through.
