- Summary:
- This is the debut feature from Tracey Moffatt and the first feature directed by an Australian Aboriginal woman. Inspired by ghost stories she heard as a child from both her extended Aboriginal and Irish Australian families, Tracey Moffatt has constructed a sublime trilogy in which characters are haunted by the past and bewitched by memories. All three stories are set in Moffatt's highly stylized, hyper-real, hyper-imaginary Australian landscape. In the first story, Mister Chuck, a young boy is fascinated and terrified by a swamp that is haunted by the ghost of an American GI. The second story, Choo choo choo choo, finds a family living by railroad tracks haunted by strange happenings. The mother is drawn to the tracks at night as she senses the horror of a past tragedy. The final story, Lovin' the spin I'M in, follows a woman who resists eviction attempts by her landlord so she can keep vigil for her dead son.
