sad character study
20 March 2017
Charles Bremer likes classical music, flowers, and art. He's a lonely church organist and hires nude model Lisa for private sessions. Her boyfriend David is an angry, struggling artist. Charles writes letters to his mother and takes art classes. He is outwardly wealthy with family money but it may not be what it seems.

Bremer is like a trust fund baby without purpose. Norman Kaye creates a private but personable character. It's a compelling emotionally-damaged role. Alyson Best is memorable especially her opening scene. She's a Manic Pixie Dream Girl with real damage from her ugly boyfriend. The plot is a little thin. It's really a great sad character study of these two people. It's a little slow at times but it's a great art-house Aussie indie.
