Shine (light and shadow / the genius´ shining); the tragedy not always has the latest word
Abstract The film directed by Scott Hicks uncovers the story of the Australian pianist David Helfgott, from his early years and youth denoted by prominent musical achievements, further curtailed because of a mental illness preceded by a childhood full of familial conflicts. After a prolonged period of psychiatric institutionalization, David starts to reintegrate into the society. His situation clearly improves upon meeting Gillian who will later become his second wife helping him to accomplish an existential reconciliation as well as facing up to a «fullness of life» project.
