Wild planet

Australia, 1988

Film

George Bonicelli is an unassuming, naive and likable accountant who has his routine and mundane existence briefly injected with a large dose of fear, exhilaration, speed, colour, movement, liberation and a hint of romance when he runs into Leilah Deluxe, a 340 year old woman from the planet Ultra Terra. Original format 16 mm/colour.
