Fun Stuff

Quotes:
Marge (referring to Australia): Do you think this is a country which honors ordinariness?
Dick: No. Well once...maybe...you know, there was once a time when it was impossible to be different. Anyone with any nouse had to pack up and clear out, but it's not like that anymore. And to keep harking back to it--that's what irritates me about that book. It's just safe territory. It's not going to shake anyone up.
Marge: Well, it's shaken me up. Maybe you don't read between the lines.
Dick: I hate nostalgia.
Marge: It's NOT nostalgia.
Dick: Where are the people writing about the big picture? Who's coming to grips with some contemporary vision for this place? Can you think of anyone?

Family secrets, 7 August 1999
Author: Pearl-18 from California

I bought this film solely because it stars Tara Morice, a fine and underutilized actress. Adapted from a stage production, it has that "play" feel -- leisurely and lovely. This complicated relationship of three sisters is not to be missed.
