Sweetie
Passes Accepted
Oscar-winning filmmaker Jane Campion’s stunning debut feature Sweetie focuses on the hazardous relationship between the buttoned-down, superstitious Kay and her rampaging, devil-may-care sister, Sweetie—and on their family’s profoundly rotten roots. A feast of colorful photography, captivatingly idiosyncratic characters and dashes of surrealism that would not seem out of place in a David Lynch film, the tough and tender Sweetie heralded the emergence of this gifted director, as well as a renaissance of Australian cinema, which would take the film world by storm in the nineties.
