The Kiss

Australia, 1998

Film

Sue and Bob haven’t had sex in ages, much to the chagrin of Sue (Zoe Carides), but not Bob (Peter Brown), who would rather spend time fixing the car. Bob gets more than he bargained for when his gay, next door neighbour (Hugo Weaving) offers to assist in the car’s repair. (Awards: Winner Best Comedy and Best Score, TropFest Film Festival, 1998)
