Little Fish

I watched the new aussie film "Little Fish" yesterday and it just blew me away. It's been a LONG time I have seen an Australian film which tugged at my emotions like that did. It's a very impressive film, very heartbreaking and sad.

There are soooo many excellent scenes in this film. One scene in particular, in the middle of the film, is very powerful. What impressed me was how simple this scene is executed - brilliantly performed by Cate Blanchett, simple coverage, and a perfectly chosen song in "Flame Trees". I suppose this all comes down to very intelligent direction by Rowan Woods. I don't want to spoil anymore about this scene!

The rest of the cast is good, except for Sam Neil - I can't stand him! He is so overrated! How he has found success is beyond me! I don't find him particularly convincing in ANYTHING. He is like Nicole Kidman *laugh*

I went with Angela to see the movie in Leichhardt, and as always we had a good time :) But Ang, if you're reading this, why the hell did you have to bring up "Weekend at Bernie's"???????? You know what I'm talking about ;P. Ang and I also wandered down to the JB Hifi, and omigod it has a fantastic collection of DVDs, and some good sales too....

Do yourself a favour, and go see "Little Fish" asap.
