    • Trivia
      Although this is a work of fiction, it is about a real person. Norman Lindsay was a real-life artist and author in Australia during the early 1900s. Several of his books have been adapted into movies, including Age of Consent (1969).
    • Goofs
      The beautiful green steam locomotive that is seen in an early scene is a NSWGR 38 class, which first entered service in 1942. ( the movie is set around the year 1930. )
    • Quotes

      Giddy: Did you know it's dangerous to wake somebody up if they're dreaming because, well, you leave part of your brain behind. And if it happens too many times, you go feeble in the head.

      Sheela: Yeah. You're living proof.

    • Crazy credits

    Funny and refreshing

    This movie was a nice surprise to me. I expected something more raunchy, considering it's reputation with a lot of naked women (all gorgeus by the way). Instead, I found it to be a sweet and unexpectedly innocent movie about being yourself, accepting who you are, exploring your possibilities. Tara Fitzgerald is simple super as the curious wife of Hugh Grant's vicar (who seems to be constantly blushing and who is his usual bumbling self). She simply has the meatiest part and she surely takes advantage of that. All the "naked ladies" deliver very respectable performances. Only Sam Neill seems to be a bit too lost amid all these different personalities and doesn't really convince. Absolutely stunning visuals (it's shot in Australia, but apart from the odd scenes at a bar, it all seems to take place in some gorgeus never-never land). And the nudity didn't disturbed me one bit since it's presented in a very unaffected and natural way. Truly different and very refreshing!
