Illuminations is a 1976 Australian film directed by Paul Cox. It was Cox's first full-length feature film although he had made numerous shorts beforehand.
A couple living together have a tense relationship. The woman's father dies and she becomes preoccupied with death. She almost drowns in the bath but then recovers her enthusiasm for life.
The film was inspired by a dream Paul Cox had in the early 1970s about being trapped in a coffin, seeing people who he had known all his life. [2]
$16,000 of the budget came through the Film, Radio and Television Board of the Australia Council, with the rest from private investment. It was released through Melbourne Co-operatives but never recovered its cost. [1] [3]
