M | 101 Mins | 1998 | 35mm | AUS | D: Rolf De Heer
Co-written by Rolf de Heer and Heather Rose, who also plays the lead character Julia, the film is a powerful exploration of the complexities of living with cerebral palsy. It depicts a tense love triangle involving Julia, her manipulative carer Madelaine, and Eddie, a man she meets by chance. It offers an unflinching and intimate look at disability and human relationships.
‘I wanted to create a screenplay but not just another soppy disability film. I wanted to make it a hot sexy film, which showed the real world.’ – Heather Rose quoted in the Guardian
