Hunt Angels, Australian non fiction feature, 4 September 2006
8/10
Author: m-oconnell from Australia

Hunt Angels opens in a really thrilling and imaginative way and continues with the same audacity, wit and visual cleverness throughout. Its about the attempts of two emerging filmmakers to well, make films. Lack of finances, state censorship and cultural cringe all create obstacles for the intrepid duo, as do their own inner psychological flaws. Great drama or romance? Not quite, more like a lively humorous and real life farce. And a fantastic insight into Australian cultural history, or lack of. Although set in the 30's and 40's in Australia the film shows how really nothing much has changed, with Australian artists facing the same issues now, of trying to tell independent local stories in the face of globalisation (read Americanisation) of culture. Its actually enlivening though, rather than depressing, and confirms and affirms your own creative aspirations. Only one shortcoming; in classic Australian masculinist style, the abandoned wife is completely silent, and the woman partner's lips seem bigger than Angelina's!
