Heaven

About This Movie

Heaven, directed by Tracey Moffatt, is this intriguing exploration of the female gaze. The film flips the script on how we usually see desire, especially through its playful yet provocative lens. It opens with a blend of documentary-style footage, capturing surfers in candid moments—there’s this rawness to it that feels intimate yet voyeuristic. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing you to really absorb the atmosphere and themes at play. Moffatt’s distinctive style shines through, drawing attention to the objectification of men’s bodies, something you rarely see tackled with such a light touch. It’s a fascinating watch, not your typical documentary; it challenges perceptions and evokes a spectrum of emotions without needing to hammer anything home too forcefully.
