If you've seen Peter Weir's "Green Card" (1990) then you've heard the story; there is a lot of similarity between the two films. But in my view, Ben Lewin's (Lewin = some Ally McBeal episodes) earlier movie is meatier in every way. And I am really pleased that it's set in St Kilda and understands that district. Debra-Lee Furness ("Shame") is impressive as Valma - you can see why Hugh Jackman got involved - and John Clarke, a NZ-origin funnyman with a very very very dry sense of humour well-known on Oz TV (eg. "The Games" 2000), is perfect as her hopeless lifemate Joe. His chicken-factory sequence is brilliant, it almost made me a Vegan. Jean-Pierre Cassell, the marriage broker, appeared opposite Jean Seberg in "The Five Day Lover" about 1967 - it was interesting to see him playing a similarly sleazy character 20 years on, but hair-challenged. The two DIMA (INS to you across the water) officials are just right as red-tape-bureaucrats-with-a-heart. If you can find this movie, see it. If you can't, put some pressure on the producer, Noel Price, to get it out there.
