Synopsis

Art & Pornography, Love & Sexuality, Innocence & Experience...
The outstanding Australian Film of the year BY PAUL COX. 'Voyeurism and murder... a clever film' THE OBSERVER. 'Startling and funny' THE SUNDAY EXPRESS. 'Very Intense, very crazy' THE TIMES. 'The most surprising film I've ever seen' THE GUARDIAN. Highly acclaimed at Cannes, voted best movie at the Chicago Film Festival, and starring Norman Kaye in his Oscar winning role, Man of Flowers has been hailed by critics and public alike as a truly original and memorable film. "Spend the money on something useful" advises wealthy recluse Charles Bremer (Norman Kaye) to his weekly stripper "Buy some orchids..." And thus in a simple exchange is hinted the mysterious web of closeted passion that lies at the centre of MAN OF FLOWERS, one of the most bizarre revenge stories ever seen. Told in a striking visual style, MAN OF FLOWERS is an eerie story of loneliness, of the privacy of our fantasy lives. It is erotic, funny, affecting, beautiful and above all unique - it is unlike any film to have emerged in recent years.
