Little Fish movies Cate Blanchett

Tracy Heart (Blanchett) is a junkie recovery. With the help of her single mother Janelle worker (Hazlehurst), Tracy changed her life, swim every day and manage a video store in the part of Sydney known as Little Saigon. She managed to stay clean, and requests a loan to go into partnership in the store, hoping to expand the business. Tracy has largely cut itself off from life - it goes to the pool at work, in bed with Janelle at his side.

As the family to prepare a dinner for the birthday of Ray (Henderson), younger brother of Tracy, I'm surprised by a knock at the door. It 'Jonny (Nguyen), a former Tracy, Australia, Vietnam, back to a period of five years working in Vancouver. Tracy is upset, Jonny is a vivid memory of old times, like Lionel (Weaving), Gay former footballer and a family friend who introduced the former Tracy heroin. Lionel tries to get out of the garbage, with the help of Tracy.

Ray, who lost his leg in a car accident caused by Jonny, is a drug dealer in the suburbs, hoping to move up the crime, it connects with Stephen Moss (Tobeck), right hand to Bradley Thompson " The Jockey "(Neill), an aging Mr. Big, who are in Lionel ex-girlfriend and her dealer. Moss has played a double game - it is designed to help solve the business interests of Brad, but he puts business behind his back.

When Tracy loan applications are turned down because of his poor credit scores, Jonny confident, and they are closer, Lionel, suffering cold turkey, turn up the score ...

Try to write synopsis for Little Fish reveals the complexity of relationships in the film, and how, but the central story is Tracy, each character on the impact each character and the elements like that can potentially overwhelm the story. Fortunately, this is a delicate and restrained, with details of the plot of hearts has revealed gradually, requiring your full attention and reward your patience.

Work well here among the different actors. We expect great things from Blanchett, and probably its easy to dismiss him as simple as the Australian, but Tracy is about as far from Blanchett as Katherine Hepburn. His working-class Sydneysider with a share of the scope of its ambitions video workshop, miles away from the autocratic Aristos Blanchett, his aquiline profile and pale, arrogant, full features, it is often too high. Tracy feels completely trapped in a cage in his past, almost incestuously close to the world of drugs and despair.

Similarly, Australia is not bright at Sydney Olympics. It's a multicultural world, that reminds me of Camden, where Ray and Tracy speak Vietnamese as a natural thing and are often the only whites in the room. Jonny straddling two worlds, trying to escape the restrictions and expectations of the traditional extended family. As a foreigner, he was attracted by the heat and heart of family affection, and unconditional love for others.

The movie avoids melodrama and characters never sentimentalization, so that the ray of hope offered at the end - and the lack of orderly resolution, Hollywood style - is very satisfying.
