Views from Beyond the Mirror: The Films of Jane Campion

Sue Gillett's decade of writing on Jane Campion constitutes a very special achievement in international film criticism and scholarship. Gillett has entered so deeply, so completely into the swirling poetics, proliferating contexts and allusive meanings of Campion's work that she not only illuminates it, she re-creates it afresh for us. This is critical commentary as a passionate, engaged, visionary act. Campion's films are usually fascinating, but Gillett's Campion is unfailingly profound.
