Candy
starring Heath Ledger and Abbie Cornish
This is the love story of Dan the wayward poet and his beautiful girlfriend Candy. He leads her into the world of heroin and the life spirals downward from heaven to earth and into hell. A beautifully shot and crafted film, if you didn't think Heath Ledger was the real thing after brokeback mountain then this will nail it for you. He is amazing. I think I'll see anything he is in now automatically. Abbie Cornish is great too. In Somersault she was a little annoying, but now she has really grown up as an actress.
In some ways a traumatic film, and I still think the heroin world is a bit past now (maybe a film about ice would have been more relevant these days.) But great anway.
8/10
