The Shout (1978)
6/10
Less here than meets the eye (or ear).....
6 February 2021
Has lots of style, and I did want to find out how it would end; but lacks logic (or if if had logic, it went over my head). Perhaps it works as a metaphor: aboriginal magic vs western religion (the husband plays the organ at church, and the vicar makes an appearance), the aboriginal shout vs the husband's synthetic music composition; the mental hospital playing a role somehow (the insanity of all that we do .. or perhaps just the insanity of cricket). But the whole thing was a stretch, from beginning to end.
