SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
The film, which is the feature helming debut of noted Australian
stage director Neil Armfield, is based on the prize-winning
novel by Luke Davies and was adapted for the screen by Davies
and Armfield. In the film, recent Oscar-nominee Ledger stars
as Dan, a charming but reckless young poet who has fallen
in love with Candy (Cornish), a beautiful young art student
from a comfortable middle-class family who is attracted to
the bohemian lifestyle that Dan has long since embraced. In
order to get closer to Dan, Candy, whose previous drug use
has been casually experimental, starts shooting up. Their
passionate relationship then alternates between bursts of
ecstatic oblivion and bouts of despair and self-destruction.
Hooked as much on heroin as one another, their story becomes
a love triangle – a boy, a girl, and a drug.
