Two Friends
A coming-of-age story told in reverse, Campion’s underseen first feature delicately renders femininity and adolescence through the depiction of two girls’ unraveling friendship.
A coming-of-age story told in reverse, Campion’s underseen first feature (written by renowned Australian novelist Helen Garner) delicately renders femininity and adolescence through the depiction of two girls’ unraveling friendship. Kris Bidenko and Emma Coles deliver nuanced debut performances as Kelly and Louise, 15-year-olds whose relationship has already ended at the film’s start. Moving backwards from there, Campion reveals—in a manner both tragic and deceptively optimistic—the fleeting moments of the past year that suggest how, where, and when the girls’ paths diverged. Originally made for television, Two Friends screened at the 1986 Cannes Film Festival along with three of Campion’s student films, An Exercise in Discipline: Peel, Passionless Moments, and A Girl’s Own Story.
