Australian and New Zealand Actress Nude Guide January 2024

 

10/01/2024

A most wonderful time of the year

Every December, Australian commercial networks bust out some Australian movies mainly because they need to make up a certain points-based quota of Australian 'drama' productions on their channels and the easiest way is to dump a bunch of little seen movies at 9:30 or later and usually on the weekend. This year only the Channel 9 suite of channels indulged in such a practice mainly because the only drama they aired was the abysmal mini-series Warnie. The other commercial channels, 7 and 10, have in previous years also shown Australian (and New Zealand but that's another point of contention) movies but I didn't see any on their schedules. It's a practice that's been happening since at least the 1990s and may be even earlier. In some cases it's the only way to ever see these movies because they never get a proper release.

This year there were 6 Australian movies shown on the Channel 9 suite either at 9:30 during the last couple of weeks of the year or inexplicably at midday as Mother Mountain was, so I was lucky to record that (although the recording ended in the final minute of the movie). Not all of the movies had something to cap but there's a fair bit below although only a little nudity is featured.

Mother Mountain (2022)

This movie aired at midday in early December and is a strange drama about a Jewish family who move to troubled Selene's (Emilie Cocquerel) former remote farm with her diplomat (or works for a diplomat) husband (Fayssal Bazzi) and her two children including also troubled young daughter Shani (Willow Speers). They try to make a go of it in this country town but Selene's issues are seeming to get the better of her while Shani finds a friend in a local Indigenous boy who helps her overcome her fears. The movie has no real coherent plot and wanders around a lot finally focusing on the fractured relationship between Selene and her mother (Anne-Louise Lambert, Miranda from Picnic At Hanging Rock still going strong). They mend wounds after Selene's father dies and that's about the only thing that gets resolved in the movie. It's not a bad movie it just has little focus on what it wants to be. Sometimes it's a mother-daughter drama then there's a mystical element of the 'mother mountain' that is constantly mentioned by only briefly explored. There's also the friendship between Shani and her friend. Then there would be such random scenes as Selene getting harassed at the pub or her taking a job on a fishing trawler. An odd movie that isn't without interest.

There's a little bit of sex stuff in the movie. Selene's husband is always horny for her so there's a couple of aborted sex scenes and later a mild masturbation scene plus a mild shower scene all featuring Emilie Cocquerel. No real nudity though.

The Land (2021)

This dour low budget drama is written by the two male leads who with the director and another producer did the bulk of the work on the movie performing multiple roles. Jeremy (Steve Rodgers) and his wife Neets (Anne Lise Phillips) welcome Jeremy's old friend Simon (Cameron Stewart) who has arrived back in Australia after spending 20 years in America attempting to be a filmmaker. Jeremy, Neets and their three kids seem to be happy and successful on the outside but Neets is depressed and finds it hard to get out of bed. Simon is going through a rough patch as his wife has left him and the filmmaking gig is not going to well. He asks Jeremy if they can go to 'the land', a property they co-owned in the country. Neets encourages them to go and when they do, she dumps the kids at her parents and mulls her life over. Jeremy and Simon bond on 'the land' by fixing a few things but Simon seems to have something on his mind and he hints at it until finally saying that he's going to confess to police about a rape he and Jeremy committed when they were in college. Jeremy is stunned as this is going to affect his 'perfect' life but Simon has made up his mind. It all comes to a head after a party at a neighbour's house. Treacle-paced drama that explores toxic masculinity expressed between Jeremy and Simon who struggle to come to grips with what they have done and how it'll affect everything in their lives, particularly Jeremy who doesn't want to lose what he has although by the end of the movie he might not have a choice. He also doesn't see that his wife is in pain and she goes about trying to work out what to do next. It's tough going throughout but it's not a bad little movie.

There's some brief full frontal nudity from Anne Lise Phillips as she strips off to get in the pool. Anne Lise did a fair bit of nudity in a number of productions in the late 90s, early 00s but it's been a while since she's had a nude scene. There's also a rather boisterous sex scene in the mud featuring Emma Jackson but there's no nudity shown.

The 13th Summer (2023)

Basically a three-handed psycho-thriller where a couple, exonerated killer cop Ben (Nathan Phillips) and his harried partner Vee (Hannah Levien) go to their holiday house to get away and maybe repair their relationship after Ben's trial for killing a kid who attacked him although no-one seems to believe him, Vee included. It doesn't help that he's always pissed off at everything. They are waiting for their friends to join them when a young British backpacker Alex (Ben Turland) arrives and seemingly breaks into their friend's house but he says that he knows them and they will be joining them soon. Ben is not convinced but Vee welcomes Alex and becomes friendly towards him which only pisses off Ben more. Ben becomes concerned that something has happened to his friends when he can't contact them then their dog is found butchered. Ben becomes concerned but Vee doesn't share his concern and tries to get him and Alex to get along. It doesn't go well and comes to a head when Alex challenges Ben to a swim to a buoy which ends with Alex trying to kill Ben but he fights back and then in a tussle, Ben thinks he killed Alex but can't find his body. He reluctantly tells Vee that he may have killed Ben and they try to work out what to do next eventually settling on removing any trace of Alex's existence. But as they are in the process of doing so, their friends arrive and ask where Alex is. This thriller has a pretty basic premise and plays more like a made-for-TV thriller with a slightly better plot and an OK twist. Interestingly, Bec Hewitt (nee Cartwright) turns up as one of their friends in what has to be her first acting gig since Home and Away and then shacking up with Lleyton Hewitt which you'd think would get this movie a bit of attention considering the gossips love talking about her but this is first I've heard about this movie.

No real nudity in the movie but plenty of bikini action from Hannah Levien in what is her first Australian movie in a long time as she's exclusively worked in Canada/America since the early 2010s.

White Blood (2023)

This movie didn't appear on TV but was recently released. Pretty simple movie about a young couple who decide to spend their final days at a remote house before committing suicide in an act of love, mainly spurred on by the man who is dying of cancer. But then the woman (Arielle Cartwright) decides she doesn't want to die but the man is not having it and goes about making sure she keeps to their pact. Surprisingly bloody thriller that gets more than a bit silly.

There were other movies that aired in December on either GEM or Go! which I also watched but there was nothing really to cap. Suka (2023) is a Romeo and Juliet inspired drama set in Sydney between two warring Asian gangs who hit a hitch when the returning daughter of a female crime boss falls for the son of a rival boss without knowing who they are. There's actually a few sex scenes in this movie but they are all fully clothed and incredibly mild and despite that the movie still received a harsh MA rating which is a gross exaggeration of what is presented. I can't work out how they classify any sex scenes so harshly and it happens regularly. Bunch of absolute prudes.

Girls' Night Out is a drama about two young women who go out for the evening and catch up with old friends and people they'd rather not see. Things get darker the more they drink before something bad happens. And by bad, I mean I Spit on Your Grave bad, which really seems to come out of nowhere. Nothing to cap despite the quite a wild ending to a movie which seems to be a PSA about excessive drinking. Very odd.

Also there was Blue Canaries (2023), a surprisingly dense cop thriller set over one night in Melbourne where a 20-year veteran is showing the ropes to a newly graduated female cop who is also a well-known footballer who's been involved in an incident that may land her in trouble. Over the night they try to find an Arabic teenager who seems to have stolen money from his mother but what seemed to be a simple retrieval job turns into a life-and-death struggle by the end of the night. This was probably the best of the movies shown, very talky but while it seems not much is happening, a lot is going on.

Most of these movies don't seem to available elsewhere although Suka is on DVD and did have a brief cinema release. I'll upgrade the videos when better quality HD copies are released.
