For Good

Film (Trailer and Excerpts) – 2003

R16
Restricted

New Zealand's so-called 'cinema of unease' is stretched in new directions in this psychological drama, inspired by real-life interviews with criminals and victim's families. Writer/director Stuart McKenzie's feature debut follows Lisa (Michelle Langstone), a young woman haunted by the rape and murder of a former teenage acquaintance. Lisa's fascination leads her to the victim's parents - and to prison, to interview the charismatic killer (Tim Balme). The result is an intelligent examination of the after effects of violent crime. Shayne Carter provides the soundtrack.

What I wanted was to make a film that respected and honoured the parents of the girl who is killed. Those people and their experiences were always my benchmark.
– Director Stuart McKenzie, Dominion Post, 19 June 2003
