Jane Campion’s filmed adaptation of the memoirs of celebrated New Zealand poet and author Janet Frame offers a desperately poignant and often devastating account of childhood and womanhood in the twentieth century.  Played by three different actors at three different periods of her life, Frame’s tender spirit and social anxieties make for a life of modestly monumental triumphs and gut-wrenching personal tragedies.  

We are joined by AJ and Richard of Cult Popture to help us understand the New-Zealand-of-it-all.

If you’d like to watch ahead for next week’s film, we will be discussing and reviewing Jun Fukuda’s Son of Godzilla (1967).
