At 8:50, Heavenly Creatures (1994)- Directed by Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings, King Kong), starring Kate Winslet (Titanic) and Melanie Lynsky (Two and a Half Men). Nominated for an Oscar in Best Writing, winner of 10 New Zealand Film and TV awards and the Metro Media Award at TIFF. Two girls have an intense fantasy life; their parents, concerned the fantasy is too intense, separate them, and the girls take revenge.
Two great contemporary films dealing with sexual exploration. A great early film of acclaimed director Peter Jackson and a beautiful new film for up-and-coming director Gregg Araki. Heavenly Creatures is extremely hard to find elsewhere, save the trouble and watch it with us!
