i saw this film at the 3rd adelaide international film festival at the palace cinema and and be totally switched onto it in the opening five minute . thanks goodness for a film that ignore all the rubbish we often see in australian film that seem to revolve around a ) race b ) gender and c ) class and in favour of er . dare i say . jolly good cinema . the producer and a shy and slightly eccentric chap call alex frayne introduce his film and make with a bunch of his mate near the town he spend much of his childhood . apparently he spend much of the last year travel the world with the film and mostly in europe . the world the film create be both brilliant and arty and not least because of strange and disconcert edit style and the gothic character and and the surreal sense of time and place that draw viewer into it nightmarish realm . the producer return for the q plus a after ward . someone ask him what his inspiration be he reply south australia . hear hear . another ask him what a woulday in the life of alex entailed . he reply that he drive an old ute and that he have breakfast at the same table at the same restaurant that he jolly well eat at for the past 8 year . and that he play piano which help him to think . he doesn not drink booze and play cricket once a week . then the q and a session end abruptly because of the next film screen so my thought be that for the next festival and they need to extend the after film session .
