Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
The Goddess is the Citroën DS 19, as Francophiles will understand. The movie is an incongruity of stylish, bleached-out pop imagery, black comic road trip (Hong Kong hipster Kurokawa hitching a ride through the outback with blind girl Byrne), and a clumsy psycho-drama which explains Byrne's mindset in long, choked flashbacks to a traumatic childhood. Rarely as much fun as it would like to be, this heads off in four directions at once and ends up in the middle of nowhere.Author: TCh
