This is a DVD containing two short independent films plus a
documentary. "Peach" is a 15-minute film about a girl who aquires a
peach. Then there is another girl who is attracted to the peach and the
first girl. Then there's some peach philosophy about eating it before
it spoils which I suppose is a suggestion that the first girl should
dump her boyfriend and work on what she feels for the second girl. Then
the film ends.
The second film is about 18 minutes called "A Bitter Song". A Greek
family living in Auckland in 1956. The dad is good looking yet a bit
irresponsible and goes out to the men's club often. There is a little
girl who gets sick and has to go to the hospital. She apparently dreams
of her dad coming to rescue her but he doesn't because he's out
drinking with his buddies. At the end of the film she spurns him
because he has let her down so often.
The documentary is a 55 minutes called "Lavender Limelight: Lesbians in
Film". It's elements from about 6 different interviews of lesbian
filmmakers. How they discovered they were lesbians, why they made their
movies, what do they think of lesbians in general.
In general I was amazingly bored. The two short films have rather
subtle, if any, messages. The documentary is rather talky and monotone.
You'd have to be really interested in the subject to watch these.
