Celeste

Celeste (Radha Mitchell) was once Australia’s most beloved opera singer. Yet she threw it all away to follow the man she loved to live on a crumbling property deep in the rainforests of Tropical North Queensland. Ten years after his tragic death, Celeste is ready to make one final return to the stage.

Critic Reviews:

• " Tropic Gothic as it confronts flesh, memory and the blurred promises of sexuality. Placing Celeste in the context of Australian director Ben Hackworth's work. " – Adrian Martin

• " The lush Queensland rainforest is the star of this episodic Australian melodrama whose mood lingers but our interest wanes, amid secrets, longing and regrets. " – Louise Keller

• " As an old-fashioned star vehicle for Mitchell, Celeste passes muster, with few of her (human) co-stars making much impact in her slender but imposing shadow. " – Neil Young
