I was looking for an earlier work by Miranda Otto, and this one from 1996 seemed like a good choice. It had impressive credentials, having received the Caméra d'Or at Cannes that year, so I decided to give it a try. The film (moving deliberately) tells the story of a radio DJ ("Ken Sherry," an open admirer of Barry White) who’s been divorced three times and relocates to a small Australian town. He ends up living next door to two sisters competing for his attention—the older one is quite insistent (denying it repeatedly) after her fiancé died in a chainsaw mishap, while the younger sister (Otto) is… unusual... and eventually believes Sherry might be part fish. I’m honestly unsure how to feel about this movie as the credits roll. It's odd, but visually striking; the cinematography is flawless. The pace is slow, yet captivating—the direction is truly excellent. There are moments when it's unsettling and even disturbing (particularly the initial seduction scene), but you still find yourself sympathizing with both women. Otto’s performance is superb; she brings subtle details and gestures to every moment her character appears that another performer would have missed. Combine this with a conclusion that’s both peculiar and fulfilling, and you get this strange mix of elements in a single film. I'm not sure if I should embrace or dislike this movie (so I’ve given it an even rating—3 stars).
