It is based on the novel, also titled Monkey Grip (1977), by Helen Garner.[2] It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section the 1982 Cannes Film Festival.[3] The film was produced by Patricia Lovell and stars Noni Hazelhurst and Colin Friels. PlotNora, a single-mother in her thirties living in Melbourne is engaged in an on-again off-again relationship with the heroin addict Javo, who can never quite decide whether he wants his freedom, or romantic commitment. The further their relationship progresses, the harder they find it to let go. Cast
ProductionKen Cameron tried to get up a film version of Helen Garner's novel in early 1979 but could not raise the budget of $553,000.[4] Shooting was postponed until Patricia Lovell managed to get the money under 10BA tax regulations. However, by then costs had risen so much the film had to be made for $1 million. The film was shot in early 1981.[1] The story is set in Melbourne but only one week of filming took place there, with Sydney standing in for the location. The Fitzroy Pool was recreated in Sydney's West Ryde pool. The iconic Deep Water Aqua Profonda sign, at the Fitzroy public swimming pool, was economically reused as the album cover in the film. Box officeMonkey Grip grossed $451,000 at the box office in Australia,[5] which is equivalent to $1,312,410 in 2009 dollars. However it struggled to find distribution overseas.[1]ReceptionThe film received mixed reviews. Helen Garner, who wrote the novel upon which the film was based, had an issue with the casting of Colin Friels as a heroin addict. She stated: "I just can't believe they cast Colin Friels as the junkie. That was such a terrible mistake. He was so healthy, a great big bouncing muscly surfing guy."[6] References1. ^1 2 David Stratton, The Avocado Plantation: Boom and Bust in the Australian Film Industry, Pan MacMillan, 1990 p139-141 2. ^{{cite news |url=https://movies.nytimes.com/movie/33126/Monkey-Grip/overview |title=NY Times: Monkey Grip |accessdate=10 May 2010|work=NY Times | first=Janet | last=Maslin}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.festival-cannes.com/en/archives/ficheFilm/id/1694/year/1982.html |title=Festival de Cannes: Monkey Grip |accessdate=13 June 2009|work=festival-cannes.com}} 4. ^Rod Bishop & Peter Beilby, "Ken Cameron", Cinema Papers, March–April 1979 p 259 5. ^Film Victoria - Australian Films at the Australian Box Office 6. ^{{cite web|title=Bach to the future|url=http://www.smh.com.au/national/bach-to-the-future-20080614-2qob.html|date=15 June 2008|accessdate=16 January 2018|work=Sydney Morning Herald}} External links
