Clip description

Savina (Tara Morice) tells Dazey (Ben Mendelsohn) she cannot live without him.

Curator’s notes

Savina’s obsession with Dazey has become dangerous. The contrast between them is starkly portrayed here. Savina calls Dazey from the church where they made love. Dazey is at the garage owned by his father. The visuals strongly indicate that their worlds are not compatible, despite Savina’s belief that her magic brought them together.
