C ursed women, shame, class, migrant identity, death — these are the themes that coalesce in the singular, coming-of-age film Looking for Alibrandi. Twenty years after release it has lost none of its emotional sting. She navigates a jagged relationship with her matriarchal Italian family, including mother Greta Scacchi and grandmother Elena Cottaconfronts xenophobia and class anxiety at her private Catholic school, develops a relationship Looking for Alibrandi her out-of-the-picture father Anthony LaPagliadates, studies and wrestles with her own in-flux identity. Growing up with Italian grandparents and attending Looking for Alibrandi vicious Catholic Sydney high school, I clung to the book and later film because it held a mirror to my upbringing, previously unseen in pop Looking for Alibrandi. Beyond those specific similarities, it also understood that the experience of teenage girlhood is plagued by cruelty, cluelessness and soul-crushing indignities. Written, directed and produced by three women on their first feature film, Looking for Alibrandi was a critical and commercial hit, winning best film at the Australian Film Institute awards in I cried. But Tristram had just done Strictly Ballroom, which I did love. I think they were just finding it hard to find the right person to write the script. Anyone who tried, you know, there was a bit of cultural insensitivity to the work. So when he brought Robyn Kershaw [on] as the producer, that for me started really shaping everything. Kershaw: I met with pretty much every single Looking for Alibrandi director at the time. I think I knew that it needed to be someone who was coming of age, like I was. It was Looking for Alibrandi coming-of-age experience for me as a film-maker, and for the director and for Melina as a screenwriter. Woods: We worked together for three years before it came out. I was very mindful that this was the most-stolen book out of any school library. That was a dubious honour. This was a really well-known book and a much-loved character. We put ads in the Italian and Serbian newspapers, we ran ads on Triple J, we wrote to the drama clubs of schools. We wanted to open up [the role] to where these characters could actually come from, rather than going to the names of teenage Looking for Alibrandi and actresses that had done the work before. We wanted it to be authentic. Miranda Alibrandi : I had to fly myself up to do a cattle call audition … It was almost like a dance audition. They read out the names of the people they wanted to stay after every section. Woods : The way [Miranda] took on that role was pretty amazing. She really had an enormous amount of stamina and understanding of the character and heart and Looking for Alibrandi for it. She just did a beautiful job. I was Looking for Alibrandi while I was writing the script and Looking for Alibrandi it was filmed, so I had the pleasure of my students being in a Looking for Alibrandi of the group scenes. Some of my students are the pallbearers in the funeral scene. Miranda: I find it really, really hard to watch people be pallbearers when they carry someone they love or care about. Woods: That image of the boys from the school putting their friend on their shoulders was one of the Looking for Alibrandi images I had about the film. I always knew Looking for Alibrandi that was really important, because I could not imagine what it would be like to carry your friend Looking for Alibrandi those circumstances. I think that the music definitely helped with that. It was just heartbreaking. Woods: It lifted Looking for Alibrandi into a different sphere. It felt more poignant to younger people than the original U2 version. I think the anger and confusion when someone kills themselves was conveyed really well in the film. It was also conveyed really well that life Looking for Alibrandi on after that person passes. Kershaw: My daughter, who I was pregnant with in — we used to refer to her as our Alibrandi baby — she actually watched it and had no idea about [my involvement]. We were excited too because it was Kate and my first big film and we went through it together. It will be off in a week. We went to the local cinema at Broadway, near Sydney University. And we could barely get a seat — we had to sit right down the front. Pia was trying to hide because a couple of people had started to recognise her by then. She was watching and [her face] was too big and too close to her, and Looking for Alibrandi was kind of watching what was happening behind [us], when everybody laughed and cried and was quiet in all the right places …. Marchetta : So much love went into that production, and I think it shows. Woods: Looking for Alibrandi touches everybody. I recognise my own youth in it. We all have that up and down, you know. Kershaw: There was nothing perfect about Josie. She was every woman. She was the outsider, and we all always feel like the outsider. Marchetta : I certainly believe that there is not enough cultural diversity in our films. In the UK and Ireland, Samaritans can Looking for Alibrandi contacted on or email jo samaritans.
