B Little Fish
Cate Blanchett, Sam Neill, Hugo Weaving
A mid-thirties woman (CB) is an ex-junkie working in a video store near Sydney. She wants to get a loan to start her own business but can’t. We see her oddly affectionate relationship with her former drug dealer and her mother. Her ex boyfriend comes to town and teams up with her brother on a drug deal. There is no real plot, but it is a gripping story that feels authentic, demonstrating that once you are in the drug culture, you sacrifice your future, even if you go straight. You never really get out. All the acting is superb and it carries the plodding story. It’s nice to see a tiny portrait of Australia.
