Radiance
Radiance follows a similar theme to two other quality
Australian films; Vacant Possession and Hotel Sorrento.
Sisters return to their family home, reunited by the death
or impending death of a parent.
Radiance has three sisters gathering at a North
Queensland bungalow after the death of their mother.
Tensions simmer and erupt. Secrets are revealed. Social
conventions are explored and confronted.
Superlative performances from the actresses lift this
film way beyond the average. Louis Nowra's script again
exhibits a knowing wit which is especially suited to stage,
but Radiance is perhaps even better on the big screen.
Nowra's Cosi delighted many Aussies and Radiance won't
disappoint.
