The true life story of piano virtuoso David
Helfgott (Geoffrey Rush in an Academy Award winning performance), SHINE
captures a most remarkable journey in flashback, a personal tale of
creative passion and musical achievement, celebrating the ineluctable
power of human endearment. Pushed headfirst into the world of music by
domineering father Peter (Academy Award nominee Armin Mueller-Stahl),
piano prodigy David (portrayed by Noah Taylor, The Year My Voice Broke)
is mentored by local teacher Ben Rosen (Nicholas Bell, The Games) to win
the state musical championship. Invited to study with prominent
musicians in America, Davids opportunities are stifled by his father,
but supported by new-found friend and novelist Katharine Susannah
Prichard (Googie Withers). Offered a scholarship to the prestigious
Royal College of Music, David faces one of the toughest piano recitals
of his life in Rachmaninoffs demanding Piano Concerto Number 3, a
complex piece of music destined to not only challenge him to the edge of
sanity but change his life forever. Also featuring Academy Award winner
John Gielgud, Lynne Redgrave, Chris Haywood and directed by Scott
Hicks, SHINE is compassionate, deft, unsentimental and inspirational.
