The Australian film Clubland, enjoying its world premiere here at Sundance, is a film to cheer about, and once again proves that Brenda Blethyn is of the great and brave actresses of her generation. Blethyn stars as a boozy, bawdy, overprotective mother, Jean, once a nightclub and TV performer in England a quarter of a century ago. Now in Sydney’s Western suburbs, divorced from the ex-singer who brought her to Australia two decades ago, she still performs her crass act in work class clubs on the weekend, while making chips and breakfasts in a canteen.
