Paul Cox can't write. Good setup - three women on a Greek island. Man arrives turns ex druggie Eva Sitta into drugs. Deaf mute friend Chris Haywood kills guy. They cover it up. Nothing done with it. No betrayal, or other baddie coming. Lots of hanging around a pretty island. Sri Lankan character who is noble and wails. Irene Papas as Greek woman full of fire. Norman Kaye is in it and Takis Emmanuel. It just sort of ending.
Good on Cox for making his movies. He made a lot. I think he struggled outside his comfort zone, i.e. urban Melbourne. There's a difference between hanging out in a place and living there.
Seven AFI nominations. Seven!
