This is a great article for those intrested in Duigan's views on nostalgia, adolescence and amorality. Duigan critiques films such as 'River's Edge' and 'Blue Velvet' which he believes seek to expose audience limitation and adopt amoral stances in pursuit of this goal. Duigan views this avoidence of critique as immoral in itself, prompting a valuable discussion of his filmic motivations, with particular reference to 'The Year My Voice Broke'. This is a great article for those interested in the myth-making approach adopted by John Duigan (an approach heavily conducive with the Kennedy Miller formula applied to narrative construction). Duigan's background in philosophy is mentioned with reference to his thematic and stylistic approach to film making.
A great background to 'The Year My Voice Broke' and the motivations behind its construction.
