Diana & Me
Feature Film
Completed just prior to the tragic death of Princess Diana, David Parker’s film had more than a few hurdles to overcome. Following extensive re-editing it was released in late 1997.
In the Sydney suburb of Centennial Park, two nurses, a housekeeper and a solicitor attend to Elizabeth Hunter as her expatriate son and daughter convene at her deathbed. But in dying, as in living, Mrs Hunter remains a powerful force on those who surround her.
Based on the novel by Nobel Prize winner Patrick White, THE EYE OF THE STORM is a savage exploration of family relationships – and the sharp undercurrents of love and hate, comedy and tragedy, which define them.
Jon designed the flashback sequence set in the early i960’s at the Hunters’ island holiday home, and the ensuing cyclone devastation.
