Dermody's article is interesting and insightful, particularly in her reading of Michael Thornhill's method of presenting a realist film, which alternates seemlessly between the polarities of intrusion and distant observation. |
| Synopsis |
In this article Dermody praises director Michael Thornhill's handling of social realism in The F.J. Holden, stating that "..the best thing about [the film] is that it 'see's so intensely. It has found certain strategies of looking at life in those kerbed and sealed, but barely civilized, western suburbs of Sydney: strategies that permit the viewer to glimpse the marvellous in the ral, and to be fascinated and unperturbed in doing so"(77) |
