MY DARLING IN STIRLING + Q&A
A dream film, a bittersweet celebration of ordinary life." ” Frankie Kanatas, Senses of Cinema
Innersense Productions presents Bill Mousoulis’ innovative low-budget musical, MY DARLING IN STIRLING, set in the Adelaide Hills.
With a Q&A with Mousoulis, moderated by Melinda O’Connor (3CR On Screen)
A contemporary and experimental musical from Greek-Australian film director Bill Mousoulis – one of Australia’s veteran independent filmmakers – MY DARLING IN STIRLING is his 11th feature in a career spanning 40 years, and his first feature made in Adelaide, after decades of working in Melbourne and Greece. A fairy-tale but realist musical, where every line is sung, MY DARLING IN STIRLING is a joyful but also melancholic film, about lost innocence, inspired by the all-singing 1964 film directed by Jacques Demy, THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG.
A young woman, Emma (Amelie Dunda), studying at university and living at home with her mother and brother in the Adelaide suburbs, falls in love with a cafe waiter Nick (Henry Cooper), who lives and works in the town of Stirling in the Adelaide Hills. Entranced by the man and the town, she begins to feel a sense of excitement and vitality in her life.
