Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOf the picture's source 'Rain' (1994) novel, the film's director Christine Jeffs said: ''I really loved the sense of atmosphere and foreboding in the novel and also the reflection on childhood...The sense of transience in that relationships come and go and that the moment is precious''. The challenge for Jeffs was to recreate those elements in the medium of film. She added: ''I spent a long time trying to persuade other people that there was a film in there. A story about the detail of everyday life, that was worth translating to the screen.''
- GoofsAlthough this film is set in the year 1972, the partygoers at Ed and Kate's party are dancing to the Sherbert song "Howzat", which was not released until 1976.

Featured review
Uneasy Beauty
Visually and acting wise masterly, the coming-of-age-story of a teenage girl unfolds an atmospheric undertow which solidifies through the parenthetical film music and the non-involved voice from the off of the young protagonist. It's shot mainly in sepia which in its dim alignment contributes to the mysterious beauty of the film. Convincing ensemble: Sarah Peirse personifies Kate with a restless and lascivious sensuality. The performances of Alistair Browning and Marton Csokas require a much more subtlety than their "Lord of the Rings" parts. But the true heart of the film are the wonderful performances of the young artists: the 15 years old Alicia Fulford-Wierzbicki who got the New Zealand Film Award as Best Young Talent, and the honestly adorable Aaron Murphy, playing the young, cute brother Jim. "Cinema of Unease", beautiful and uncomfortable at the same time, dangerously calm with subtly accentuated shots of a dusky landscape, the story tells the chronicle of an announced death.
