| Summary |
The fifth film in the documentary series Gillian Armstrong has been making about the lives, hopes and dreams of three lively, working class Adelaide girls since they were fourteen in 1976. Over more than thirty years, Kerry, Josie and Diana’s struggles have captured all our hearts, and Gillian’s series is the first and longest documentary longitudinal study of young Australians. Because of the characters’ commitment to truth and their generous relationship with the filmmaker over such a long period, all the films have captured a depth, openness and intimacy about these three ordinary but extraordinary women. It ‘s been fourteen years since Not Fourteen Again, which focused on the then 33-year-old mothers and their teenage daughters, Rebecca, Wendy and Amy. In Love Lust & Lies Gillian returns in 2009 to Adelaide to explore where Kerry, Josie and Diana - and their families - are now. Significant changes have occurred in all their lives. The past is revisited and themes of growing up, love lost and found, family, and the part ‘destiny’ and opportunity play in our lives, are explored. The result is emotionally resonant and compelling viewing. The three women are now 47 and two are grandmothers. And Rebecca, Wendy and Amy, the three teenage girls introduced in the last film, all have children of their own. As well, Josie and Kerry’s families include a new generation of teenagers: Michael and Micaela, Steven and Shannon. All of them have compelling stories to tell. Love Lust & Lies captures the highs and lows that have occurred in all the women’s lives over the past fourteen years. It explores the complexity, drama, joy and anguish that exist in all families. It exposes the emotional impact of family secrets and ‘skeletons in the closet’. Love Lust & Lies asks universal questions about life and the opportunities offered by circumstance, and shows how the ‘ordinary’ is quite often extraordinary." -- ABC website |
