Premiering at the 1981 Cannes FiIm FestivaI, Smash PaIace was Roger Donaldson's second feature following the success of Sleeping Dogs, a film which had heralded the arrival of the New ZeaIand New Wave.
Smash PaIace concerns itself with the marriage of former racing driver AI (Bruno Lawrence, The Quiet Earth) and French-born Jacqui (Anna Jemison, Nomads). The pair had met when she nursed him back to heaIth folIowing a career-ending injury. They married, returned to AI s native New Zealand to take over his late father s wrecking yard business the Smash PaIace of the titIe and had a chiId. But over time stagnation has set in, Jacqui s resentment of Al has grown, and things are threatening to spiII over...
Playing out as a darker, more haunting New Zealand variation on such US separation movies as Kramer vs. Kramer or Shoot the Moon, Smash PaIace offers a briIIiant, vivid messy portrait of mascuIinity in crisis, driven by Lawrence s immense centraI performance once again confirming his status as one of New Zealand s finest actors. |
