Has anyone else seen this movie? i know its old but I stumbled across it for the first time late the other night on cable and was quickly reeled in. The movie is fantastic and amazing and directed by none other than Peter Jackson.
One can see some early LOTR camera work and shots in this movie.
But thats not as important as how engrossing the story is of two girls that live in a fantasy world they build up together, sort of fall in love (debateable point) and one ends up plotting and committing murder against her mother for coming between them. No its not a spoiler, the murder happens in the opening shot of the movie. Its about HOW we get to that point that the movie addresses wonderfully.
I know its based on a real case in NZ and hope that some of the locals might shed a little light on the case. Anyway if you have not seen it GO SEE IT. If I have to appeal to the depraved nature of SDNerizens then let me add that there is nubile teen lesbianism in this movie.
