Though she followed it with a string of brilliant films, Jane Campion will always be remembered for her stunning debut feature, Sweetie.
Campion focuses her askew lens 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 profoundly rotten roots.
A feast of quirky photography and captivating, idiosyncratic characters, Sweetie heralded the emergence of this enormously gifted director as well as the breakthrough of Australian cinema, which would take international film by storm in the Nineties.
