Nominated for best costumes, My Brilliant Career takes place in australia. Sybylla (Twice nominated Judy Davis) goes to live with relatives in 1897, and gets two offers of marriage from quite different men (played by Sam Neill and Robert Grubb). Beautiful countryside scenery. odd dynamics between Sybylla and her suitors.... she's quite melancholy about her plain looks, and everyone she speaks to agrees that she's not the prettiest thing around. kind of sad, that no-one gives her any encouragement or can find anything to compliment about her. She doesn't love either of the men, so she'll have choices to make, since she's not willing to settle for less than a loving relationship. It's pretty long. and pretty slow. Directed by Gill Armstrong. trials and tribulations of an ozzie.
