Dir(s): Safina Uberoi
Program: World Showcase
Run Time: 79 | Australia | Language: English | Rating: PG
Chris Rohrlach is not your typical Australian sheep farmer. Willing to try anything to keep wife Rachel out of long-term care, he decides to open a brothel. Nothing has ever stopped Chris and Rachel from doing exactly what they've wanted, so outrage from the community doesn't faze them one bit. A quadriplegic with neurological impairment for all of their 14 married years, Rachel is still Rachel to Chris, and the love of his life. As the camera captures the construction and grand opening of the best little whorehouse in the outback, the film exposes tension between Chris' indomitable plans to keep his family afloat and Rachel's own wishes. Reliant on others to translate her eye movements into words, the film creates a novel friction between Rachel's opaque desires and their secondhand expression. Funny and thought provoking, A Good Man turns preconceptions about disability and macho male stereotypes upside down. Angie Driscoll.
Co-presented with OzFlix: Australian Film Weekend.
