Redheads
18 November 2019
A man, his sister, and his son are driving along the road, anxious to get home so the woman can see her soap opera. She is, anyway. The son is peeling an orange and tossing the peel out the window. The man tells him to put the peel in a bag, so it can be disposed of at home. The son refuses.

This early Jane Campion short -- it won a Palme D'Or at Cannes for short subjects -- is about several things: the legendary anger of redheads, the fact that Australians talk like Australians, and littering. It makes its point not with the orange peels, which are, after all, biodegradable, but with the other roadside litter, all of which is ugly, but some of which is gross.
