Saving Grace - 1997Kahukura Productions - 90 min. Cast: Kirsty Hamilton, Jim Moriarty, Tina Cleary, Denise O'Connell, James Moriarty. Screenplay: Duncan Sarkies; Photography: Sean O'Donnell; Prostethic Effects: Richard Taylor, Michael Asquith; Editor: Michael Horton; Original music composed by: David Donaldson, Steve Roche, Janet Roddick; Producer: Larry Parr; Director: Costa Botes. Basically a story of two disturbed people - one an antisocial 19 year-old street kid, Grace, and the other a middle aged carpenter, Gerald, who believes he is Jesus Christ incarnate. Gerald offers to share his flat with Grace which results in sexual and ultimately violent events. This first solo feature by Botes, from a play by Sarkies, seems to be somewhat flat and misdirected. Hopefully Botes will do better next time. Censor Rating: R16 -- Review Rating: C- |
