SWEETIE (CRITERION COLLECTION)

Details

• Release Year: 1989
• Genre: Drama
• Plot: Though she went on to create a string of brilliant films, Jane Campion will always be remembered for her stunning debut feature, 'Sweetie', which focuses on the hazardous relationship between the buttoned-down, superstitious Kay and her rampaging, devil-may-care sister, 'Sweetie,'–and by extension, their entire family's rotten roots. A feast of colorful photography and captivating, idiosyncratic characters, the tough and tender Sweetie heralded the emergence of this gifted director as well as the breakthrough of Australian cinema, which would take the international film world by storm in the nineties.
