In a small but honest attempt to get our Camille on the right mood, I’d like
to say a little something about an excellent Australian film I watched at
the Stockholm film festival last week. It was called “Praise” and told the
story about a twenty-something couple in a destructive and emotional
relationship superficially “based” on sex and drugs. Cinematically splendid,
this dripping tale of a woman with a bad eczema and a man with low
self-esteem doesn’t leave you indifferent.
A true movie movie. The novel is a best selling piece of some kind, but I
doubt it will be as good as this film.
The day before, I watched another Australian film, Strange Planets, which
was a shallow but amusing comedy. For a moment there, I was getting used to
the thought of spending New Years Eve drinking champagne to cool down from
mid summer heat.
