The Quiet Room (1996)
, 1h33Directed by Rolf de Heer
Origin Australie
Genres Drama
Actors Paul Blackwell
Rating66%
The Quiet Room centers on an unnamed little girl and how she deals with her parents' crumbling marriage. The film focuses entirely on her point of view and although she is silent for most of the film, we constantly hear her thoughts, sometimes in a stream of conscious barrage of voice-over. The little girl has chosen to become mute as a way to protest her parents' constant fighting. Her parents, more concerned with their own issues, believe their daughter is just going through a phase. The film shows how even very young children can be extremely cognizant of problems that are going on in their own homes even when their parents try hard to shield them from everything.

John "Dingo" Anderson vit au fond du bush australien, loin de tout. Un jour, un jet privé transportant le trompettiste de jazz légendaire Billy Cross (Miles Davis), de même que ses musiciens, se pose au milieu du désert australien, entre deux concerts internationaux, pour réparer une avarie. Billy Cross improvise alors un petit concert au milieu du désert pour quelques spectateurs privilégiés qui se trouvent là par hasard. John Anderson tombe instantanément sous son charme, et se prend d'une passion pour le célèbre trompettiste et sa musique. Il aspire dès lors à jouer au moins une fois en duo de trompettes avec son idole, devant le public averti d'un club de Jazz parisien. Presque arrivé à l'âge de trente-trois ans, plusieurs années après avoir croisé pour la première fois le grand trompettiste, il se décide enfin à partir pour Paris, dans l'espoir de concrétiser son rêve. Pour ce faire, il devra toutefois tirer Billy Cross de sa quasi-retraite.

On a farming property called Raven's Gate, enthusiastic hydroponicist Richard Cleary (Ritchie Singer) is trying innovative farming practices. He is also trying to accommodate his brother Eddie (Steven Vidler), newly out of gaol and more interested in Richard's wife Rachel (Celine Griffin) than in working on the property. Strange events on the property and a minor crime in the town attract policeman Taylor (Max Cullen) and Special Branch investigator Cummings (Terry Camilleri). Eddie has the misfortune to also cross local cop Skinner (Vincent Gil), by dating the target of his affections, barmaid Annie (Saturday Rosenberg). Tensions in personal relationships and mysterious events (bird kills, disappearing water supplies) build to a climax that sees Raven's Gate assaulted by an alien force, and a number of deaths amongst the protagonists. The film closes with the stunned survivors Eddie and Rachel standing outside Raven's Gate homestead, newly restored by Special Branch, and the soundtrack playing the Easybeats song Friday on My Mind.
