Till Human Voices Wake Us (2002) is a haunting, melancholy film, starring Guy Pierce and Helena Bonham Carter, that i ran across on cableview a couple years back. directed by Michael Petroni (The Dangerous Lives of Alter Boys) it follows a young Melbourne psychology prof (Pierce) back to his childhood home where he confronts - what? for its morbid and romantic heart, i admire the film greatly, and (as is the case with so many UK films) was very curious when i learned of the existence of an original Aussie version out there, a cut that reportedly shuffled the central timeline of the film into a totally different order. i went about looking for the DVD, and at last made an enlightening discovery, two-fold: the special edition DVD with both Australian & USA cuts, and Madman Films, an Aussie enterprise and gold mine of great and (often obscure) cinema.
