    Bedevil

    Tracey Moffatt 1993 Australia Fiction color 90min English 35mm
    Bedevil is the stunned debut feature from Tracey Moffatt (Night Cries, Nice Colored Girls) and the first feature directed by an Australian aboriginal woman. Inspired by ghost stories she heard as a child from her family, Tracey Moffatt has constructed a sublime trilogy in which characters are haunted by the past and bewitched by memories. All three stories are set in Moffatt's highly stylized, hyper-real, hyper-imaginary Australian landscape. In the first story, a young boy is fascinated and terrified by a haunted swamp. The mother (played by Moffatt) is drawn to the tracks at night as she senses the horror of a past tragedy. The final Story follows a woman who resists eviction attempts by her landlord so she can keep vigil for her dead son.
