Abstract: 

The portrayal of mental illness in film reflects changing community attitudes, writes Fincina Hopgood.

MOTHERHOOD, migration and madness. These are the shared themes of two Australian films, The Home Song Stories, and Romulus, My Father, released earlier this year. Both films, based on true stories, portray the point of view of a little boy dealing with a mentally unstable mother. They try to understand this difficult, dysfunctional figure, without demonising her.
