NFSA Restores: Radiance 🎞️

When three estranged sisters, Cressy (Rachael Maza), Mae (Trisha Morton-Thomas) and Nona (Deborah Mailman), reunite at their mother’s funeral in Far North Queensland, long-buried pain resurfaces.

Rachel Perkins’ debut feature adapts Louis Nowra’s stage play in the powerfully moving film that launched Deborah Mailman’s film career.

‘It is enormously moving, mainly due to the performances of the three women... Deborah Mailman is a powerhouse on screen, full of energy and radiance. She's completely natural.’ – Margaret Pomeranz
