Movie Critic
Even more deficient was support for making the movie, as writer/director Elliott recalls on his commentary in this "Extra Frills Edition" DVD. Traditional Aussie reserve and macho culture made it a tough slog casting the movie. Especially for the key role of Bernadette, an older transsexual mourning the lost of her life partner.
one of my favourite Australian films (which isn't hard, they have made a load of rubbish there haven't they?)
