An Angel at My Table

A shy and introverted girl is misdiagnosed as schizophrenic and we follow her turbulent journey through various institutions until she achieves respect and status as a writer. Oscar-winning director (The Piano) Jane Campion's second film is an extraordinarily moving celebration of the life of Janet Frame, New Zealand's most distinguished author, based on her autobiographical trilogy.
