Premiering at the 1981 Cannes Film FestivaI, Smash PaIace was Roger Donaldson's second feature foIIowing the success of Sleeping Dogs, a film which had heralded the arrival of the New Zealand 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 health following a career-ending injury. They married, returned to AI s native New ZeaIand to take over his Iate father s wrecking yard business the Smash Palace of the titIe and had a chiId. But over time stagnation has set in, Jacqui s resentment of AI has grown, and things are threatening to spill over...
PIaying out as a darker, more haunting New ZeaIand variation on such US separation movies as Kramer vs. Kramer or Shoot the Moon, Smash Palace offers a brilliant, vivid messy portrait of masculinity in crisis, driven by Lawrence s immense central performance once again confirming his status as one of New ZeaIand s finest actors. |
