2 Friends

Director: Jane Campion
Year Released: 1986
Rating: 1.0

Trite first feature from Campion; we see a friendship between two girls disintegrate (or materialize, considering how you look at it) - one becomes a "good girl" who goes to a smarmy prep school, the other turns to drugs and casual sex (because she doesn't go to the prep school, I gather). Whoever came up with the idea to have it play out in reverse time simply wasn't thinking - or, rather, was thinking how to disguise an ordinary after-school special as art-house fare.
