Sarah Polley’s debut documentary opens with a voiceover of a Margaret Atwood quote: “When you’re in the middle of a story, it isn’t a story at all, it’s a confusion.” We learn the elderly man voicing that quote is Polley’s father, the British actor Michael Polley. Then comes the confusion: Polley’s mother, Diane, had multiple sexual partners, causing the director to wonder whether Michael is her biological father.
Polley – whose film Women Talking is up for best picture at this year’s Oscars – searches for answers in a quest that holds personal significance. But it also has profound implications for the medium she’s crafting – triggering questions around the unreliability of memories and the documentary form’s capacity for sleight of hand. It’s a vivid, compassionate, tricky work, cerebral but with a big heart.
The Aids crisis is looming, however, and newly appointed federal health minister David Westford resolves to act quickly. The series highlights revolting instances of homophobia but ultimately this is a story about a community coming together for a common purpose. Songs laced throughout the series imbue it with an appealing theatricality; some of the music sent tingles down my spine.Black Mirror season 3 , Women of Steel , Under the Vines , Close to Me , Knowing the Score .
