Own the rights?
This a rare little film i picked up from my DVD shop on the recommendation of a girlfriend who saw it at the NZ International film Festival and couldn't stop raving about itI'd heard complaints and negative responses to it as well, it definitely seems to polariseIn terms of performance it was very strong especially for a New Zealand filmAnd I thought the script was brilliantHowever I found the shifts in tone a little strange at times especially the humour and irony but enjoyed and went with it nevertheless and I feel in the long run that it helped balance a grim journeyIts unfortunate that this film didn't get a cinema release, maybe its too dark? Pushes too many buttons?I don't know and can only speculate as in terms of quality it is a much stronger film than most of the NZ features to play in cinemas here in the last ten years or soIts a real shame as its a potentially great platform to stimulate discussion around some tough issuesAnd this country needs to face up to these issues that are ripe in our so called paradise, our little 'godzone'i'm interested to now what others think nowspecial - tears and hope
