The Price of Milk
Their are two things that I have to say before I write this reveiw:
1) New Zealanders are hot.
2) It must be hard to be crazy.
Even though the copy that we watched wasn't of the highest quality (it was taped from tv) the film was still visually incredible. Probably the most beautiful scene was when the main character, Lucinda, was running across the vibrant green countryside in a red sari that flowed at least 20 yards behind her.
The film is a fairytale, but it starts(in Paul's words) where most fairytales end-with true love. It was all about what true love is and how to keep it. I thought it was interesting that the "villain" (she isn't really a villain, but she's as close as they get) is named Drosophila, which is the name of a fly.
I'm not sure if their was actual magic in the story or if Lucinda was just crazy. She certainly was crazy, but I don't know if all of the fantastic things happen in her mind or in real life.
(spoiler)
I really like that she didn't recognize Rob when he thought that he didn't love her. She said, "You're not Rob. Rob loves me, I don't know you". It really shows how we define other people through how they treat us. We make our own villains and heros in our lives.
