Oscar And Lucinda
on DVD
(1997)
Starring: Ralph Fiennes, Cate Blanchett, Ciarán Hinds
Director: Gillian Armstrong
Certificate: 
Oscar and Lucinda is only 'A broken thing, a miracle, a tragedy, a dream...' This says it all. Those who have seen it will never be able to forget this picture: a church made out of glass slowly going down a river in the heart of the Australian desert. In this church stands Oscar and this is the proof of his love for a woman called Lucinda. If this is not enough to tempt you to see the film nothing will ever make you love it. Not even the dreamy performances by both the lead actors. Not even Oscar's violent outburst and the look of pain that follows it. Not even the enchanting music and the glorious Australian landscapes. Not even the fact that this is one of the queerest love stories ever told. And not even that this is as close to the fairy tale as you will ever get....
