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.

I think the main problem of this film is the fact that it revolves around a pretty annoying aristocrat and her children, who look for problems in places where ordinary people wave it off, move it to the subconscious and start dealing with something more important. Or… in a better case… end up at a pub where they get rid of their problems for good. So, there’s nothing left but to focus on the acting performances, which are the only thing that is interesting. But that’s pretty much all that this movie has to offer.
