My Brilliant Career (1979) Sealed Criterion Collection Blu-Ray

My Brilliant Career is a 1979 Australian drama directed by Gillian Armstrong, based on Miles Franklin’s 1901 novel. Set in the 1890s, it follows Sybylla Melvyn, a spirited young woman in rural Australia who dreams of becoming a writer. Living with her wealthy grandmother, she attracts the attention of two suitors: the charming Harry Beecham and the persistent Frank Hawdon. Torn between romance and her ambition, Sybylla must choose her path. The film is celebrated for its feminist themes, strong performances—particularly by Judy Davis—and its role in the Australian New Wave cinema movement.
