Review of Smash Palace (1981) by Stephen S — 27 Jun 2007
This can be a very difficult film to locate, but I found it in a two-fer package with director Donaldson's first film "Sleeping Dogs". Like his role in "The Quiet Earth", Bruno Lawrence plays his role fearlessly and without reservation.
The direction is brilliant and the story is quite intense. The ending doesn't quite work as well as it should, but is effective nonetheless. Great New Zealand film - recommeneded.
