Award-winning biopic on Australian concert pianist David Helfgott who in his 20s, with an international career ahead of him, suffered a mental breakdown and would instead spent years in institutions. Helfgott is played by Geoffrey Rush who took the Oscar, BAFTA and Golden Globe for his performance in 1997.
Controversy stirred after the film became a huge success, and the real Helfgott embarked on musical tours. His playing was said to be less adroit than expected which sparked criticism that director Scott Hicks had exaggerated Helgott's talent for dramatic purposes.
