Quiz
Writer-producer-director Bill Bennett said of the genesis of this project: "I became intrigued by this place [the Trobriand Islands] at university and when I started to read more about it, the whole notion of sex and freedom within a 'primitive' culture fascinated me, but my reading confirmed my suspicions that it was more complex than was perceived, with strict social and moral codes," says Bennett. "I became fascinated by the role of women and their status and power in a matrilineal society and thought it would be an interesting place to set a love story about scientists in a conventional marriage being affected by the sexual politics of the place."

Citazioni
[first lines]
Evelyn Spence: I once met a man, not my husband, another man. He looked back on a life. What would you carry into the darkness? For me, I'll take the smell of a pearl shell, freshly opened, one day on a beach.

8/10

A beautiful looking movie with fine perfomances.

Visually this is a stunning movie showing the New Guinea landscape in all its glory. I loved the golden look of many scenes. The performances were very good, with Maya Stange a wonderful surprise as the heroine - although her sudden conversion to native and back again was strange to say the least. Bill Bennett has again demonstrated that he is one of Australia's best new directors.
