52 Tuesdays
The most interesting films, other than the odd independent, produced in Australia still come via The South Australian Film Corporation. 52 Tuesdays is the latest product from the SAFC stable living up to its name in every way. The film was shot in the same time frame as its title so that we see the subtle changes in real time of the characters as they live their unconventional lives.
The producers even took the time to produce an information brief on what an audience needed to understand about transgender change and that as Jane becomes James (Del Herbert-Jane) in the film's first stanza the process is complicated and it was better for us to be enlightened. I enjoyed the document as a post-curser in preference to a pre.
Surprisingly however, the James character forms the under current of the film. The film's flow is dominated by Billie (Tida Cobham-Harvey)as she deals with adolescence and the ways she needs to experiment to deal with the many dimensions of relationships.
52 Tuesdays is fresh, confronting but more importantly revealing. Behind the walls of each small urban house there is a story and this is another tale, an unconventional suburban sliver. Coban-Harvey is as stunning as Rose Byrne was in her feature debut, Two Hands. 8GUMS.
