About the book

"Felicity Collins has long been one of Australia's most perceptive, rigorous and exciting film analysts. Here, she brings the films of Gillian Armstrong alive in a timely, poetic and genuinely revelatory fashion. From My Brilliant Career through to Oscar and Lucinda, we discover the fragile yet tenacious 'transformative' power of Armstrong's distinctive vision. Felicity Collins draws together potent ideas of 'maternal space', the conditions of modernity, the vicissitudes of time, and daily experience of the physical and cultural environment, in order to illuminate Armstrong's subtle and enduring 'idea of cinema'. " / Adrian Martin--back cover.
