- Synopsis:
- A story of love, never ending sex and scrabble, 'Praise' is a bizarre enough tale if ever there was one. Based on the semi-autobiographical story from Andrew McGahan, the film follows the irregular relationship between chain-smoking asthmatic Gordon (Peter Fenton) and insecure eczema victim Cynthia (Sacha Horler), as they both help one another through the grim situations that they've each wandered into. Through emotional storytelling, this pathetic duo is seen in a whole new light, connecting with one another amidst the drugs, drink and triple word scored. This is a unique and engrossing drama that deserves every bit of 'Praise' it can gather.
