The Last Days of Chez Nous

Screening on Film
Directed by Gilliam Armstrong.
With Lisa Harrow, Bruno Ganz, Kerry Fox.
Australia, 1992, 35mm, color, 93 min.

Beth (Harrow), a middle-aged writer, struggles with her slowly crumbling marriage to JP (Ganz) and her unresolved relationship with her father (Bill Hunter). When she and JP decide to take a boarder in their home and Beth's sister arrives for an extended visit, the quiet emotional strife in their lives is forced to the surface. Although generally regarded as a feminist filmmaker, director Gillian Armstrong (My Brilliant Career) proves adept at portraying all sides of this honest family drama.
