What happens
A Most Attractive Man is a 1982 Australian film directed by Rivka Hartman. It is based on a autobiographical script given to Hartman by a friend. Hartman made multiple changes to the script resulting in the scriptwriter withdrawing support and choosing to be anonymous. It was made on a small budget with the crew working on deferred wages. Neil Jillett of the Age said "This film, made with precision, economy and verbal and visual wit, gives a sharp, if slightly romanticised, view of life below the poverty line." The Australian Jewish News' Julian Lewis review finishes "Aside from its ‘look’, and good intentions, “A Most Attractive Man” is always effective." The film won 1982 Australian Film Institute Award for Best Short Fiction Film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
