'Post partum' delivers an extraordinary interpretation of postnatal depression; a masterpiece, and convincing teaching material for clinical psychologists doctors and supporting families.Post Partum follows the downward spiral of Luce (Mélanie Doutey) a veterinary surgeon and mother swamped by peremptory family advice on how to bring up her child.What starts as a film about a professional couple's difficulty welcoming a baby into their busy lives, develops into a struggle to maintain an image of the perfect mother spiralling into a major psychotic episode; Luce's decline being at the same time stigmatised and ignored by her family and ineffectually managed by her doctor.Jalil Lespert plays Ulysse, a husband overwhelmed by Luce's difficulties and unable to control Luce's oppressive mother-in-law Carmen (Françoise Fabian). Produced by FraKas, in co-production with Les Productions Balthazar (France) and PTD Studio (Luxembourg), with support from Centre du Cinéma et de l'Audiovisuel and Wallimage among others, Post Partum highlights the stigma of mental illness while avoiding the negative imagery in "Baby Blues" (2008). The French language film will feature English subtitles by "Tongues Untied".Following the screening of 'Post partum', a post-screening audience discussion will be led by Ms Gillian Ennis, Clinical Nurse Manager and Dr Pippa Brown, Consultant Psychiatrist, Mother & Baby Unit, Subiaco.Please note the screening will commence at 6.30pm at Bruce Hunt Lecture Theatre. Entry is free however a gold coin donation is welcome.Bookings are required; to register your interest, please visit TryBooking at www.trybooking.com/HPQEFor more information on this upcoming event, please 'like' the
