Walker's use of blue filters and their offsetting of Otto's orange hair is a contrast that is praised. Less successful, in the reviewer's opinion, is the manner in which the scenes of Rabe watching Otto dance are filmed. |
| Synopsis |
A review of 'The Well' that questions Australian films' tendency to parody our 'strangeness'. 'The Well' is rated slightly higher in this regard than 'The Castle' and 'The Road to Nhill' and the potential of the Lang, Jones and Walker team is noted for their ability to transfer the symbolism and intensity of Jolley's novel to the screen. |
