LD335 - Shine (1996)

Oh boy.  Here's a blast from the not-so-nostalgic past.  Geoffrey Rush plays piano virtuoso David Helfgott, in Scott Hick's most 90s biopic of all 90s biopics.  Talent and determination are hindered by a domineering father and an unbridled ambition to be the best.  But the resulting mental breakdown isn't enough to stop the spirit of a genius.

If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be discussing and reviewing Bob Rafelson's Five Easy Pieces (1970).
