after watch two of his film ( the other be innocence ) and i simply can not understand why paul cox be such an acclaimed director . i find his work uninspiring and wooden and dull . lonely heart be an insipid and slow and disjointed and uninteresting story . it be not a love story while there be no spark between the two principal character . thing happen in the film without any explanation . the acting be average at best . the script be utterly empty . how do this win australia equivalent of the academy award for best picture . come off a a second rate tv movie . i now see two recur theme in these paul cox film represent keyboard skill and rebound . innocence represent an organist hop into the sack with his old girlfriend because he miss his deceased wife . lonely heart represent a piano tuner hit the date scene after his mother die . i do not know what mr. cox reason be for use these theme but and from any angle and he be not a good storyteller .
