Jane Campion's An Angel At My Table 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 is outstanding in the leading role of the adult Jane.
