Film (Excerpts) – 1986
Richard Riddiford's first movie explores a woman's restless homecoming from her OE. Monica (Judy McIntosh, from Ngāti) returns from Europe to sculptor Nick (actor/nature presenter Peter Hayden), who has stayed behind in Waiuku. Monica goads him into a road trip north, seeking connection to him and home. In this excerpt they meet Riki (Rawiri Paratene), a charismatic performance poet who has left the city to find his Ngāpuhi roots. Monica is intrigued by Riki's bond to his people and the land, which widens a rift between her and Nick. The excerpt also contains bathtub sax and an impromptu wedding.
It is a very delicately balanced film. Warmth and wit are cut through by some quite savage moments and the love story is so skilfully interwoven with the wider issues that it is all of a piece...– Helen Martin in a Listener review, 8 November 1986
