Must See DVD

This isn't so much a 'must see' as it is a disturbing, yet compelling part of NZ's movie history.
Perfect Strangers stars Sam Neill who plays an obsessed lover- and 'rugged' man of the wild.

After a night at the pub he picks up local fush and chup shop girl Melanie (Rachel Blake) who he takes back to his Palace ( a hut on an island.) In a plot that gets stranger and stranger he holds her captive in the hope of eternal love and marriage.

The tag line for the film is ' a chilling romance' but in my opinion the characters are far more disturbed than they are romantic.
The film is certainly complex, unnerving and at times deeply haunting, yet it also possesses a rather beautiful and poetic quality ( It's set in NZ after all)

Perfect Strangers has screened at numerous international film festivals, including the London Film Festival, the Montreal World Film Festival, and the Chicago International Film Festival and in June 2005, it won the Best Film Award at The Female Eye Film Festival in Toronto.
