Movie review
From Time Out London
‘Every day there’s a song no-one listens to’ says London-based Aussie composition student Tommy in Currie’s ambitious debut, a blend of artistic rites-of-passage drama and hard-nosed invocation of the Melbourne club scene. Spielman is fine as the brooding Tommy, who’s taken to recording old women on the Camden tube, but is expelled from the Royal College following his avant-garde efforts to bring real distressed working class voices to his live degree project. The world he returns to in Melbourne – his sisters’s overdose, venal, murderously self-seeking so-called impresarios from TransZenDance et al – is presented by Currie as a mixture of ecstatic revelation and jaundiced irony.Author: WH
