The couple in the back of the theatre next to me were noisily making out while Margaret Qualley kicked Demi Moore to death. I was 100% on board with Monstro Elisasue drenching everyone and everything with herself at the end.
Beautifully shot and solidly directed, but the writing is terrible. Everyone acts like teenagers. The emotions are unearned and make no sense. They are based on vapid whims rather than anything internal to humans. It’s fascinating in a class and colonialist sense. The empty decadence, money, dilettante writing and art and lack of work, all based on empire and other’s toil. All the bits inbetween what’s shown here could have been fascinating! The decisions made. Why did she choose her…
The most expensive silent film in Australia at the time and one of the last. Beautifully shot in Tasmania, it was made by an Australian production company with a Hollywood director and two Hollywood leads. It contains shots of a real burning schooner that was deliberately lit with many of the prints of earlier Australian silent films, contributing to the disappearance of much of Australia’s early golden age of cinema. Drawing from the 1874 novel His Natural Life, it is a fascinating look at an early Australian epic and many influential myths of Australian history.
