Kitchen Sink (1989)
Surreal and creepy
This is one creepy film. I watched this two years ago sitting in my 7th form English class. I never expected anything like I saw. Filmed in black and white this film tells the story of a woman who just cannot leave something alone and how curiosity really did kill the cat.
Not a film for everyone but it will keep you on your seat squirming away. The lead actress is Theresa Healey, a well known actress in New Zealand and in this film she does a very adequate job of being a little too curious and obsessive and it's consequences if you cross the line in the name of perfectionism.
A very surreal film, I'd give it a 7/10.
A note: most of my English class was disgusted with it. ^_^
Kerosene Creek (2004)
Moving short film
I viewed this New Zealand short film on Rialto Channel just 10 minutes ago and I had to write something about it. It's a surprisingly moving short about a young Maori girl named Jayde (good name >_>) and her thoughts about being at a tangi of two young men.
The film effectively shows her thoughts and state of mind as she remembers back on past memories of the two deceased young men.
Without spoiling it I would recommend this film. It does a great job of showing the mindset of having loss in your life and in only the space of 13 minutes it is surprising how moved the viewer is and affected they get in having just met the characters and their situation.
7/10
