Like nothing else that's played in months.

The Price of Milk, which boasts a lush classical score recorded by the Moscow Symphony Orchestra, has a few more twists that make this a Valentine's Day delight.

Easily one of the oddest romantic comedies since "My New Gun." It's also one of the most visually inventive, and if its charms very nearly defy description, it's nonetheless irresistible.

There is a place for whimsy and magic realism, and that place may not be on a cow farm in New Zealand.

In the tradition of "Sunrise" and "Eyes Wide Shut," crises set the characters on a kind of dreamy, nocturnal journey through chaos and fear.

This sort of thing is the problem with making stuff up as you go along.
25
A whimsical modern fairy tale.

It's really weird and I really liked it. Hard to compare it to anything else, though I have to say, I am not that familiar with the rest of NZ films.

A modern love fable set in rural New Zealand. Beautifully filmed with music by various Russian composers, which adds to the surreal composition of this unconventional film. Lucinda, worrying about the love between she and Rob, decides to put Rob through a series of tests. When things get out-of-hand (don't they always), Lucinda is determined to correct the mistakes before she loses her one true love. If it seems a bit choppy with some rough edges - it might be due to a very low budget and director Sinclair's preference for having only outline scripts and filling-in as they go. Somehow it seems to work.
