Everyone who has worked with film knows that the film editor is crucial to lifting a film from the ground. The editor gives the film its rhythm, its breath and its life. With work on films such as Strictly Ballroom and Muriel’s Wedding, Jill Bilcock put Australia on the film map at the beginning of the nineties. When Baz Luhrman later undertook a modernization of Romeo + Juliet, Bilcock’s self-assured editing was a bedrock of the style. Who doesn’t remember the time-honored houses of Capulet and Montague, and Bilcock’s playfully cut duel between the families at a gas station? So much courage is only found in one who has lived and continues to live life, for and with art. (Göteborg Film Festival)
