Georgia is a 1988 Australian thriller film directed by Ben Lewin (in his theatrical film directing debut) and starring Judy Davis.
Judy Davis plays the two roles of a mother, Georgia, and her daughter Nina. The film is presented as a series of flashbacks as Nina investigates her mother's death, which led to her adoption as a young child.
The film was inspired by Albert Tucker's 1984 painting of Joy Hester. Producer Bob Weis originally wanted to make a film based on Hester's life but decided to make a fictional film.[1]
Georgia grossed $44,205 at the box office in Australia.
