Featuring a much younger Geoffrey Rush, the 1996 critically-acclaimed film Shine is the real-life story of an Australian known for his genius in what?

Shine tells the story of David Helfgott, a pianist from Australia with mental health issues. The character suffers a mental breakdown when he's pushed too far by his domineering father. Rush was awarded a Best Actor Oscar for his role in the film. The real-life Helfgott still lives in Australia, and after a stint in an institution, went back to touring and playing in front of crowds.
