Queen
of Carthage
(2015)
Johnny's
comments:
Queen
of Carthage is a drama
about Amos (Shiloh
Fernandez), an American
who is currently drifting
around New Zealand with
his only real company
being talking on the phone
to his sister Jane (voiced
by Rose McIver in her
Masters of Sex voice).
That is until he meets
Phoenix (Amanda Tito)
after she stops him from
stealing a postcard and
they become friendly. Amos
then meets Graham (Graham
Candy), a talented
musician/singer with
potential and a lust for
life and Amos is instantly
attracted to him, although
he is a relationship with
Simi (Keisha
Castle-Hughes). While
living between Phoenix's
home, much to the chagrin
of her brother and Graham
and Simi's place, Amos
attempts to convince
Graham to come back to
California with him to
record his music. One
night, Amos and Graham
have some fun with Phoenix
and her friend, but during
the night, Amos decides to
kiss Graham, much to
Graham's disgust. While
Graham calms down and
continues to be friends
with Amos, things start to
fall apart for Amos
including Phoenix wanting
more from their
relationship and
escalating the friction
between Phoenix and her
brother as well as been
shown up as fraudulent at
a party by another
American, which results in
Simi finding Graham with
another woman and causes
them to split up. After
destroying a guitar Amos
made for him, Graham
attempts to get rid of
Amos, but by now, Amos's
obsession with Graham is
at it's peak and it's
going to end in tragedy.
OK movie, not really
adding anything new to the
obsession genre, but the
story is good enough to
make it fairly watchable.
The ending is a little
baffling in fact, the
whole final act doesn't
seem to be explained
properly. I don't really
understand what his sister
has to do with it, let
alone whether or not she's
real or just another of
Amos's constructs.
Interesting enough story
that could be explained a
bit better, but still
worth a look.)
