Coda, can be defined as: the final section of a musical composition. And so by this definition, ‘Summer Coda’, is one filmic performance well worthy of one or two encores!
With an enchanting score, first time feature director, Richard Gray, takes us on a journey from the heart of the Nevada desert, to the seed of the Australian orange, Mildura (North-Western Victoria). It is here where Heidi (Rachel Taylor) is thrown into her forgotten past, and consequentially, into Michael’s (Alex Dimitriades) bunch of quasi-nomadic, orange grove pickers! Sensational performances ooze from the all-Australian cast and with a soundtrack including Liam Finn and Augie March (among others), this juice is definitely worth the squeeze!
