Romulus, My Father: Scenes from a Childhood

A review of Romulus, My Father, directed by Richard Roxburgh and based on the life of philosophy professor Raimond Gaita. Reviewer Briane McFarlane writes that it is a tougher film than previous Australian coming-of-age stories. Key elements include conflict between adults and the discovery of self; place plays a strong role in the shaping of the drama.
