The Eye Of The Storm
Director Fred Schepisi will attend to present his film and participate in a post-film Q&A moderated by Kevin Sandler.
In a Sydney suburb, two nurses, a housekeeper and a solicitor attend to Elizabeth Hunter (Charlotte Rampling) as her expatriate son and daughter convene at her deathbed. In dying, as in living, Mrs. Hunter remains a formidable force on those around her.
Estranged from a mother who was never capable of loving them, Sir Basil, (Geoffrey Rush), a famous but struggling actor in London, and Dorothy (Judy Davis), an impecunious French princess, attempt to reconcile with her.
In doing so they are reduced from states of worldly sophistication to floundering adolescence. The children unite in a common goal – to leave Australia with their vast inheritance. Using the reluctant services of their family lawyer Arnold Wyburd (John Gaden), they scheme to place their mother in a society nursing home to expedite her demise.
Principal Cast: Charlotte Rampling, Geoffrey Rush, Judy Davis
