Hunting (film)
Hunting is a 1991 Australian drama film written and directed by Frank Howson, starring John Savage, Kerry Armstrong (nominated for AFI Best Actress) and Guy Pearce.[2] Cast
PlotAn American business tycoon, Michael Bergman, arrives in Melbourne and has an affair with Michelle, a married secretary, who works for the stockbroking firm of which he is a client.[3] Michelle is drawn in by his rich and glamorous lifestyle and charismatic manner, but the more involved she gets, the more she realises how ruthless and morally bankrupt he is. [4] ProductionFrank Howson says it was a requirement of the investors that he cast an American in the lead.[5] Filming began in Melbourne in April 1989, with the movie being called "Australia's Wall Street (1987)".[6] Howson had made three films with Pino Amenta directing but wanted to direct Hunting himself.[7] ReceptionFilmink thought the movie had "a sensational performance by Kerry Armstrong" but was "totally undermined by the casting of John Savage, whose role should’ve been played by Guy Pearce."[8] SoundtrackAs well as appearing in the film, Guy Pearce recorded a single called The Promise. The music video featured scenes from the film. References
