THE DRESSMAKER (2015) Directed by: Jocelyn Moorhouse. What’s it about? 25 years after being accused of murder and exiled from her small country town, the now internationally renowned fashion designer Myrtle Dunnage (Kate Winslet) returns home to stamp out cigarettes in a sexy way – and to exact revenge. Myrtle is a classic femme fatale, scandalising the locals with an off-the-shoulder wiggle dress and seducing the only townie with abs (that’d be Liam Hemsworth). This is a comedy, a romance and a film-noir thriller thrown into a hessian sack and beaten about with a cricket bat. It’s a bit like watching the Reese Witherspoon classic Sweet Home Alabama, if that movie had been written and directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
