George Heygate (Richard Roxburgh) calls the police to report what happened when a mysterious woman (Kylie Minogue) appeared in front of his car and asked for help.
Curator’s notes
There is no backstory to shed light on these characters but other elements provide clues. Costume, dialogue and performance make Roxburgh’s George seem a straitlaced, nine-to-five kind of guy compared to Kylie’s hysterical mystery woman. Hayriide to Hell’s production design and cinematography bring shades of an old-school film noir mystery, particularly the choice of the looming, older-style Sydney apartment block as a location. Kylie’s trashy glamour and erratic behaviour turn up the volume on the traditional role of the enigmatic femme fatale.
