Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })An Angel at My Table is a 1990 biopic focusing on the life of New Zealand writer Janet Frame. It is based on Frame's three autobiographies: To the Is-Land (1982), An Angel at My Table (1984), and The Envoy from Mirror City (1984). The film was directed by Jane Campion, and originally aired as a TV Mini Series in three parts. Frame is portrayed by three different actors, with Kerry Fox playing the adult Janet. The film was a critical success in Campion's native New Zealand and established her career as an emerging director. It won the Best Foreign Film prize at the Independent Spirit Awards and the International Critics' Award at the Toronto International Film Festival.The film starts with Janet Frame's rural childhood in 1920s New Zealand, and follows her into adolescence and adulthood as her gift of writing is nurtured. A panic attack at Janet's first job as a schoolteacher convinces Janet's worried parents to commit her to a mental institution, where Frame is misdiagnosed as a schizophrenic. Janet continues to write, and her talent helps to get her released from the hospital. The film ends with Frame's travels to Spain and Britain after she wins a writer's grant.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Biopic | |
| An Angel at My Table / int_9710c9a7 | comment |
Biopic: The film is a biopic of writer Janet Frame. It does subvert the structure of typical biopics, though, by not delving into the subject's medium (Janet's writing in this case) and does not dwell on the darkest parts of the subject's life. | |

Coming of Age Story | |
| An Angel at My Table / int_b1e8a3b3 | comment |
Coming-of-Age Story: The film follows Janet from her childhood to adulthood. It can also be considered a "late bloomer" coming-of-age story as Janet doesn't get to experience some seminal events until well into adulthood. | |
