Neil Armfield’s Typical Vibe
2 films — measured, wistful, intense, clear, quiet
Tim and John fell in love while teenagers at their all-boys high school. John was captain of the football team, Tim an aspiring actor playing a minor part in Romeo and Juliet. Their romance endured for 15 years in the face of everything life threw at it – the separations, the discrimination, the temptations, the jealousies and the losses – until the only problem that love can't solve tried to destroy them.
Dir. Neil Armfield · With Ryan Corr, Craig Stott, Guy Pearce
A poet falls in love with an art student, who gravitates to his bohemian lifestyle — and his love of heroin. Hooked as much on one another as they are on the drug, their relationship alternates between states of oblivion, self-destruction, and despair.
Dir. Neil Armfield · With Abbie Cornish, Heath Ledger, Geoffrey Rush
