QUOTES:
"We doubt the motives of the authority figures that programs such as 'The Last Crop' & 'Blue Murder' have shown are as susceptible to corruption as anyone else."
"It's some kind of comment on the state of Australian mateship that 2 men have to be locked in a police cell (or film set) to achieve intimacy, to let their hair down, to reveal who they really are."
"If 'The Interview' is a film about the sick state of our male dominated culture than we are in trouble. The oppressive gothic architecture of the film, the norish, inverted camera style, the claustrophobic interiors, the clever use of filters to tell different parts of the story, all conspire to heoghten the crepping paranora suffocating the characters."
Monahan refers to an alternative ending that was discarded; still doesn't reveal the innocent party |
| Synopsis |
An interesting article which refers to the notion of mateship emphasied in Australian cinema between men, eg Gallipoli, and the changing way in which men & their interaction with each other is portrayed in films. The article discusses the way the film looks (dark & gothic), the heavy, clasutrophobic mood resulting from few set changes and the abscence of women from the film apart from a cameo role by Glynis Angel. |
