there's some new stuff over at Australian Literature Diary. Yes yes, I know Beautiful Kate is actually an Australian film adapted from an American novel, but screenplays definitely count.
Saw Beautiful Kate yesterday - beautiful movie. Sophie Lowe is very luminous. I recently saw Last Ride (and Balibo in between - about ready for something cheery now ;-) ) I notice that both Last Ride and Beautiful Kate feature the South Australian landcape in all its austere wonderfulness. It seems to be a recurring thing at the moment - awe inspiring deserty backgrounds which are as powerful as any of the characters in the movie.
Please feel free to write long(ish) comments if you have long comments to make. Off-topic comments will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and deleted if they derail the discussion. Hostile or malicious comments will be deleted regardless.
I hope you ae feeling better today - your blog voice (on ALD) sounds excellent. :)
