Exquisite 2-Disc Special Edition

This is the film that became a worldwide sensation and remains perhaps the most beloved and acclaimed romantic epic of all time. Oscar -nominee Judy Davis (Passage To India, Husbands and Wives) made her international debut as Sybylla Melvyn, a free spirited young writer who refues to conform to society's expectations of how a 'proper woman' should live her life. Sam Neill (Jurassic Park, The Piano) co-stars as the wealthy suitor who tries to win her restless heart in this Oscar nominated classic by Gillian Armstrong (Little Women, Starstruck). Long unavailable in America, My Brilliant Career has been fully restored and remastered in High Definition from the original negative, under the supervision of Academy Award nominated Director of Photography Donald McAlpine.

A daughter who is useless, plain, and godless

If you loved Anne of Green Gables and Out of Africa, you would probably enjoy My Brilliant Career. A determined young woman in Autralia deals with adversity and love, while holding onto her dream of becoming a writer.


My Brilliant Career(DVD)

I saw this movie twice in one week years ago.It was the first time I saw Judy Davis.She was then and still is a wonderful actress.The film has a good story&I found it charming,witty,and fun.It does have its serious moments.It is exctremely well done.One of the best of its kind I have seen.


For true romantics

This is simply a beautiful film, bursting with life and creativity--I recommend it to anyone. Don't miss the featurettes on the DVD set, especially the interview with director Gillian Armstrong, recalling how she argued for the film's free-spirited ending (barely imaginable even in the 1970s) and ended up winning the hearts of the audience at the Cannes Film Festival.

I Bugged HBO About Sam Years Ago Because of This!

I saw this years ago when it was new. LOVED the film, read the book (and the sequel). Became a BIG Sam Neill fan. In the "old" days when cable was new, you could request films, by name. I was able to do some digging in foreign film periodicals, and started requesting some of the films he made in New Zealand and Australia. HBO aired them, several times! So, in my own small way, I helped introduce him to the states. And Judy Davis is/was wonderful! Loved the hair!!!

Great movie! And great for younger girls to watch.
