Avis à la une
Loved the whole experience, some outstanding acting based on a solid story line. But the real action is in the water. Just thinking about riding a big wave is out of the question for a land lover such as me but riding the biggest waves ever filmed that was awesome to watch. The soundtrack is a killer. All in all a fab escape for us mere mortals forever stuck on dry land.
Absolutely shocked to read the review by one commenter, whose 'extra-ordinary' vocabulary seems limited to the word "Bad". Obviously, by his comments, he has some vendetta against the makers of this exceptional Australian film - which only makes one wonder, why? Reading the other comments far outweigh this obnoxious report. I challenge all readers who have not seen the film to do so, and then comment. The story in Liquid Bridge is truly inspirational, the beautifully depicted scenes capture the essence of surfing, wonderful on the big and small screen. Some outstanding directorial moments shine throughout and the characterization (and acting) is moving and very sympathetic. In fact it is one of the few Australian films to succeed on these levels, whilst executing a universal story. And what extra-ordinary ocean footage! This film is fast becoming a house-hold name amongst surfers and others, because the characters portrayed appeal to a wide audience. Everyone I know who has seen it, loved it! As for the comments on the Director, do a little research, this man deserves acclaim and respect. Not only did he put the likes of Mel Gibson and Julian McMahon in their first roles that ultimately led to their stardom, follow Simone Kessell (now in LA) and Ryan Kwanten - both from Liquid Bridge. Ryan is now a huge success via "Summerland" - their quality performances in Liquid Bridge led to these successes. Director/writer/Producer Phil Avalon has a knack for recognizing star talent, particularly 'up and coming' - and provides vehicles for careers to be launched. I would like to hear from anyone not moved by Liquid Bridge, it's almost 'tribal' resonance in parts has stayed with me since my first viewing. A great film on the big screen, and a perfectly fulfilling DVD! Thanks
The newly inaugurated Gold Coast Independent Film Festival is screening a cross section of Australian films this week. One of them was "Liquid Bridge" written and produced by Phil Avalon. It was an example of what producers can put on the screen when working on an "Independent's" budget. Some strong performances and jaw-dropping footage of surfers riding mountain sized waves are audience pleasers. Eye candy for both sexes is plentiful but the film has a real heart beating underneath. There's more than enough sex, drugs and surfing to go around but the basic story of a young man stepping outside of his father's shadow is touching and in good hands in this film.
Liquid Bridge has everything - Big Waves, steamy love scenes, a gripping story and wonderful visuals. Supported by great acting and a rockin' sound track, LB delivers like a perfect wave peeling at Pipeline! At last, a film about surfing that actually works!!
As a distributor I believe that this is a good feel movie that will attract teenagers and young people. The film is very entertaining, the story well told, the lead characters looked good and their motivations well defined. There are some very touching moments where the characters are moved by emotions without having to say word by word what they feel. A rarity in today's movies... The love scenes are directed with sensitivity. The music is hip, typical of young audiences and work quite well. The photography of the waves and the coast of Eastern Australia is at times very aesthetic and exciting. The direction overall is very good with nice touches of both, tenderness and excitement. This is a movie that will inspire you to surf into the high waves of life. Don't miss it.
