(John Curran, Australia 1998, 98 min., 35mm)

Gordon (Peter Fenton), an asthmatic, smoking slacker, drifts into a stormy relationship with Cynthia (Sacha Horler), a sexually aggressive young woman with a bad case of eczema. Filmmaker and Rochester native Curran spent many years in Australia where he made his feature debut with this decidedly offbeat, and ultimately haunting story of love between two outsiders. Preceded by the equally strange and wonderful DOWN RUSTY DOWN (John Curran, Australia 1996, 15 min., 35mm) starring Noah Taylor. John Curran will introduce and talk about his work in a post-screening discussion.
