My movie rec

[indri]

Desperate Remedies (New Zealand, 1993). High-camp, grand guignol, overly-technicolour melodrama with period frocks. The strong-willed Dorothea considers a marriage that will consolidate her business interests, but lusts after the handsome nobody she has arranged to marry her pregnant, drug-addicted sister. Set against a background of war in nineteenth-century New Zealand, this has to be seen to be believed. Includes a Prince look-alike, partial nudity and the wilful misuse of tartan.

I LOVE that movie!!! I bought it five or six years ago because I just have a Kevin Smith obsession, and since his death I've collected up even more of his obscure movies, but that remains the one I can watch all the time and just go 'heeeeeee'.

That and whenever our kids are arguing the phrase 'Fletcher says we're going to move to Syney and live on champagne' always seems to pop up.

*dies*

Soooo recced.
