A Film by Paul Cox
Charles Bremer is a recluse and collector of rare flowers and objects d'art.Loved and smothered by his mother, the past remains as real to him as his present life.
Each Wednesday Charles takes Lisa, an artist's model, to his sumptuous house and pays her to strip to the love duet from Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor."
Lisa - his "little flower" - introduces him to David Saunders, an old fashioned painter and a new threat to Charles' world.
Man of Flowers is a film about the confrontation between modern art and traditional art; between modern love and traditional love; between modern life and traditional life.A film about art, insanity, loneliness and sex.
Winner of the Jury Prize at the 1983 Chicago Film Festival and the Best Actor Award for Norman Kaye at the 1983 Australian Film Institute Awards.
