Amusing story of eighties greed
I am suprised that the rating for this film is so low. Whilst it is admittedly not one of the greatest films of the decade, the film is a competent and amusing story of Sydney in the mid-eighties and Sydney-Melbourne rivalry.It’s humour is typically David Williamson. I like it and would recommend it to anyone.
Hooray for Ozzywood.
Discussions about new film ideas from screenwriter John Hargreaves, his wife Robyn Nevin and new pal Chris Haywood in my brain that are quite amusing because they remind me of other modern script ideas being tossed around in various other films that I’ve seen, such as “The Player”. The more they discussed these films, the more ridiculous they seem and the more funny they become. As amusing as this all is, it’s not really the name story, but how Hargreaves becomes tempted how much by the alluring curly redhead Nicole Kidman (who is quite a Lauren in an early role) even though he has a terrific wife and great kids.I truly liked Nevin in this, and found the scene where a paranoid Hargreaves fantasizes in nightmares about different ways to be caught while he’s about to go through the deed with the sultry Kidman. While I’ve seen a lot of Nicole’s films made after this, I like how she is presented here as natural and real, before Hollywood got her and turned her into an assembly line version of modern stars. She really makes this character a lot of fun to watch, and unfortunately as talented as she is, lacks the charisma now that she’s gone mainstream. The film also takes the viewer to the wild world of Sydney and a nice insight into its culture and nightlife.
