Unfolding Florence: The colourful life of Florence Broadhurst - Felicity Price, Gillian Armstrong

Threat advisory: Guarded - General risk of entertaining activities

Movie propaganda

Florence Broadhurst lived an amazing life. Not content with reality, she 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 this is just a small part of the Florence Broadhurst story.

Theatrical report

If you like documentaries about people you never heard of who worked in a field you never think of then Unfolding Florence might be a good film for you. I say might be because it isn't the most dynamic of films despite the dynamism of the "heroine".
