A lyrical portrait of the New Zealand writer Janet Frame that was originally designed as a three-part TV miniseries. Jane Campion only later reworked An Angel at My Table into a feature film, giving its focus on Frame’s life – in and out of mental institutions and only finding peace when at work on a text – an intensity and fullness that makes it the rich vision of an unconventional artist that it is.
