@ the Movies 2012 - Careless Love

Directed by John Duigan who directed the following feature films Sirens (nude fun in the mountains), The Year my Voice Broke & more.  In this film he attempts to show how one young girl (Nammi Le) makes her way through uni and prostitution.

She works for an oriental call girl agency and then she meets another young uni student who she quickly moves in with.

She tries to hide her career from her family, her friends and her boyfriend.

The movie was a lot more enjoyable than the last Aussie film I sat through (Wish You Were Here) and I really wanted to like this and although it was slightly lame in parts it was really enjoyable for the most part.

Nammi Le is wonderful and vulnerable in this role.  Peter 'Brien puts a shocking US accent on for one of Le's best customers.

In a whole this movie won't get the Aussie movie scene back on track but I saw a trailer for the Sapphires which looks spectacular (I'll post it below) but this film does achieve something, it shows Australia in 2012, multicultural, diverse and Sydney looks wonderful on the big screen.

Careless Love rates a pass mark of 3 Sydney Stars.
