Swinging Barmaids

1975

Brainscan's comments:

We covered Immortal Three in the February 3 edition. A second, much less impressive grindhouse movie was Swinging Barmaids, also made in 1975. The source material was grossly inferior but I did what I could. The legendary Dyanna Thorne played one of the barmaids, who is chased around her apartment by a killer. She keeps getting out of his clutches and loses a bit of clothing each time. Laura Hippe plays another of the barmaids, who takes a shower and boffs her boyfriend. Again, apologies for the inferior quality - as a poor workman, I will blame my tools, which in this case is a crappy DVD.

The Last Days of Chez Nous

1992, 1080hd

Johnny's comments:

The Last Days Of Chez Nous is a 1992 comedy drama where a family is about to go through an upheaval. Vicki (Kerry Fox) comes back from overseas and moves in with her much older sister Beth (Lisa Harrow), her French husband J.P. (Bruno Ganz) and Beth's daughter Annie (Miranda Otto). Things are fine at first and the household even takes in a boarder Tim (Kiri Paramore). Then Vicki finds out she's pregnant and after a long deliberation she decides to have an abortion while Beth helps her. Beth decides to go on holiday with her father (Bill Hunter) to Uluru so that they can better connect with one another. J.P. is not loving Australia, particularly the hot weather and when Beth goes away, he starts to see Vicki in a different light. Annie and Tim become an item and after one hot night, so do J.P. and Vicki and they begin an affair. Beth arrives back from her holiday and the tension in the household grows.

Alright slice-of-life movie that has this vibe of love and happiness and the household has this strange open door policy where there's a quite a bit of interaction with outside the house. Also the age difference between Vicki and Beth is off-putting to the point that I had to keep telling myself they were sisters and not mother-daughter. But the movie is quite fun and there isn't a huge deal made about the affair even if it ends in a major change. Also interesting that the three leads are all overseas actors playing a family in Sydney.
