- Directed by: Jane Campion
- Cast: Genevieve Lemon, Karen Colston, Tom Lycos.
Controversial debut feature from New Zealand born Campion follows the fortunes of two sisters: the quiet, nervy Kay (Colston) and the unpredictably psychotic Sweetie (Lemon), whose behavioural eccentricities involve eating china ornaments and painting herself blue. Boldly scripted and composed, the film brings a dreamlike quality to the everyday, but beneath all the self-consciously challenging camerawork, there breathes a very simple tale of common humanity.
