One Night (2023)
A brilliant, evocative series.
One Night is a brilliant series.
Rashomon-like, it depicts the trauma of an assault through the prism of various, differing recollections.
One Night features a superb cast.
Yael Stone and Nicole da Silva are particularly brilliant.
The latter's frailty and honesty are compelling.
Veteran theatre actor William Zappa is outstanding.
A young idealistic activist tries to appropriate the assault for her own purposes and devices.
The narrative unspools various layers of threads, which bind the characters and personae.
The brooding, dimly lit cinematography evokes the grandeur and mystery of the Australian coast.
One Night is a masterpiece.
Last King of the Cross (2023)
A masterpiece
Last King of the Cross.
Tremendous, thrilling, visceral entertainment.
A must see.
Melbourne has its own legendary figures of the underworld, like Dennis Allen, the precursor (no pun intended) of David Michod's Animal Kingdom.
Nonetheless, the ground zero of Sydney's swirling sordid cesspool, the Cross, is equally as fascinating.
An Australian classic.
A vortex, an eternal monkey grip, of vice and death combined.
Lincoln Younes is outstanding as John Ibrahim, the conflicted controller of the decadence of King's Cross.
He is aware of the sordid cesspool of permissiveness, inhabiting the eye of the existential storm.
Last King of the Cross is a classic drama.
The Tunnel (2013)
Magnificent Thrilling Drama
A magnificent, thrilling, edge-of-your-seat drama series.
Superbly acted, in especial, by Stephen Dillane.
Tightly written, brilliant performances, superbly photographed, capturing the frigid, austere atmospherics of the Calais-Dover regions.
A superb co-production.
Disparue (2015)
Magnificent thriller.
A magnificent, taut, tense crime thriller revolving around the disappearance of a teenage girl in the picturesque French city of Lyon.
Superb performances, direction, cinematography and script.
François Xavier-Demaison, as the lead detective, is particularly brilliant.
The grieving parents are excellent too.
Superb performances in general.
Bad Mothers (2019)
Superb Australian drama
Bad Mothers is superb quality Australian suspense drama.
Set in an affluent, upwardly-mobile milieu, the cast, performances, direction, script production quality and photography are excellent.
Amongst the cast, Daniel MacPherson is particularly brilliant.
Bad Mothers reinforces the fact that Australian drama can indeed lead the world in terms of quality.
