A great week of flicks
By Graeme Tuckett
“Perfect Strangers is an
immediately iconic and absolutely bloody delightful piece
of filmmaking. Alternating wildly in tone between brooding
and anarchic, flawed, muddy, improbable, infuriating,
hilarious, bloodied and utterly unbowed, this is a film
to celebrate, to love, to hate, but above all to watch,
and watch again. Kia kaha.” I wrote that about a
year ago, after seeing Gaylene Preston’s Perfect
Strangers on a cramped little arthouse screen. Today (Mar23)
Perfect Strangers will screen at the Embassy, as a special
fundraiser for the Greymouth Tornado victims. Great cause,
stunning film. Get yourself down there.
