Unfolding Florence - The Many Lives Of Florence Broadhurst (2006)
Infrequent Mild Coarse Language, Mild Themes
| Director: | Gillian Armstrong |
| Actors: |
Not content with reality, Florence Broadhurst invented and reinvented her past to be even more interesting. Before her brutal murder, she was a fixture on the Sydney social scene, partly because of her flair for self-promotion, partly because of her colourful and flamboyant personality and partly due to her success as wallpaper designer extraordinaire. Yet these characters are only glimpses into the many lives discovered when unfolding one of Australia's greatest and most enigmatic characters.

A portrait of a dynamic and driven woman who lived and died in a very dramatic way. The world was too small for Florence's imagination, so she created her own, again and again with steely determination. I really admired her and her desire to get out from under. Gillian Armstrong does her justice.

Thoroughly entertaining doco about a truly remarkable woman.
Gillian Armstrong's masterful movie-making shines yet again with this thought provoking and delicious portrait of a true Australian treasure.
A must for any graphic, textile or interior designer.

Fast paced doco about a fascinating Australian woman, mostly known for her wallpaper design business and society connections. This is not just a talking heads review of Florence Broadhurst's remarkable life and death. Gillian Armstrong has done it again.
Interesting to speculate that Florence's murderer may have been interviewed for the movie or may have appeared in archival footage. Who knows? Recommended, especially, for the moviegoer who frequents the art house cinemas.
