Paul Cox's biggest hit perhaps - a film made with his own money, or at least so he said, about things he was interested in set in a world he knew, with his friends. Norman Kaye has the role of a lifetime as a cultured man who enjoys watching Alyson Best be naked.
The film has a strong support cast - Barry Dickins as a lively postman, Ellis as a whining shrink, Chris Haywood superb as Best's egotistical artist boyfriend, Sarah Walker as Bests' friend who falls in love with her.
The film became an arthouse hit, in part because of all the nudity - Best, Walker, Victoria Eagger, even Norman Kaye. Werner Herzog makes a cameo.
I mean it's made by dirty pervs. You can sense that. But it's got a solid story and pay off.
