Cinema Plus has secured theatrical rights in Australia and New Zealand to Alena Lodkina’s drama “Petrol.” Scheduled for release in March 2023, it has just vowed in main competition at the Marrakech Film Festival following its Locarno world premiere in August.
“Petrol” is produced by Kate Laurie, who has already collaborated with Lodkina on her first feature “Strange Colours” and short “There Is No Such Thing as a Jellyfish.” It was funded by Screen Australia, VicScreen, the Melbourne International Film Festival Premiere Fund, Sbs and Orange Entertainment, with Alief on board as its international sales agent.
The film – set in Melbourne, where the helmer has lived for the last 10 years – mirrors Lodkina’s own story. Just like her protagonist, Eva, she was born to Russian parents. But it soon takes a detour into a more mysterious territory when Eva befriends Mia: a performance artist haunted by the ghosts of the past.

How does someone show range while keeping each character truthful and believable? Of course that's the ultimate acting question. But to see powerful examples, watch Irish actor Ciarán Hinds in his vast variety of roles. From romantic leads (Captain Wentworth in 1995's "Persuasion" and Mr. Rochester in 1997's "Jane Eyre") to empire-builders (Gaius Julius Caesar in BBC/HBO's series "Rome"), from murderers (Jim Browner in "The Cardboard Box") to cartoon character (Botticelli the rat in "The Tale of Despereaux"), from working with Paul Thomas Anderson ("There Will Be Blood") to an upcoming "Harry Potter" film—there's no doubt he can do it all, while remaining true to each character's nature and each project's style. And that's just screen projects.

The Holmes and Rahe Stress Measurement chart indicates degrees of stress from 1 to 100, where, for example, increased arguments with a spouse measures 35 and a marital separation scores 65. The highest level of stress is death of a spouse, which rates the full 100, though one could argue that the death of a child is off the charts. Two of the characters in Conor McPherson.s ghost-and-love film are afflicted with top scores. An aging Malachy McNeill (Jim Norton), now in a nursing home, suffers the loss of his daughter, Eleanor. McNeill.s son-in-law, Michael Farr (Ciarán Hinds), must now provide for his young son Thomas (Eanna Hardwicke) and daughter Sarah (Hannah Lynch), without help. Since Michael.s wife died just three years back, he is impacted enough by the loss to experience hallucinations, ghosts if you will; one, the scary kind, is of his father-in-law who screams and looks enraged; the other is of his departed wife,...
