(1982) Smash Palace
DRAMA
Produced, co-written and directed by Roger Donaldson who makes the most of it's simplistic story line set up, that centers on Al played by Bruno Lawrence paying the price for neglecting his family, spending more time on his junkyard of cars!! Because of his lack of affection, Al's wife, Jacqui (Anna Jemison) then has extra marital affairs with fellow police officer, Ray (Keith Aberdein). There's nothing glamorous about it's locations, as it is as real as one can get.
Filmed in New Zealand with their natural English dialect spoken with a gripping ending that has to be seen to be believed.
