The Mistress (2012)
Best director
This film is definitely worth Best Director Awards. Clever dialogue...beautiful film metaphors used throughout, artistic film with great actors. Super well cast and so not Hollywood.
First Love (2018)
artistic
This film is artistic and non Hollywood which is so refreshing. The two main characters are beautifully cast and I do not agree with other reviewers panning of this film re chemistry. Both main characters hold their own and do justice to their roles. Although somewhat predictable this movies simplicity understands how an art form works.
James & Isey (2021)
Love
James and Isey, the movie, is a documentary with a difference. Although its premise is a lead up to Isey's 100th birthday with a splendid and unique event orchestrated by Isey's youngest son and carer, James, the movie is beguiling as without agenda it deals with many slippages. We are taken back to a world of a slower pace with more human values. Here a family member cares for an elder with total respect. There are differences in beliefs. The effects of colonialism especially around first nations loss of language is evident and the slippage between ancestral identities explored. Who cares for who in this mother son relationship? The intimate interview is artfully juxtaposed against captures of the local landscape, often heavily symbolic. The interwoven imagery and dialogue leaves us centred on the fundamental truth of love.
