Little Fish (2005)
In 2005 Cate Blanchett starred in “Little Fish”, a complex, downbeat and heartfelt Australian drama directed by Rowan Woods. She is Tracy, a former heroin user, clean for some years, who is trying to get a bank loan so that she can buy the video store where she works. But she is mired in a family that still has connections to the narcotics trade. Family friend Lionel Dawson (Hugo Weaving), smack addict, closet gay and former sports star, nurses a secret affair with retiring drug baron Bradley (Sam Neill) and exerts a powerful emotional pull in Tracy's life. Most unsettling is the reappearance in her life of ex-boyfriend Jonny (Dustin Nguyen) who now wears smart suits and has been fixed up with a fancy stockbroking job, and seems set to rocket past them all into wealthy respectability. But he, too, has an awful secret. This movie is set in a neighborhood of Sydney far from the tourist locale: the Vietnamese quarter known as Little Saigon - where Jonny's family is from. The film
