Kiwi cult cinema classic Desperate Remedies, which was originally released in 1993, got a glamorous red carpet re-premiere this week.
Starring Jennifer Ward-Lealand (Dirty Laundry), Lisa Chappell, (McLeod’s Daughters), the late Kevin Smith (Xena: Warrior Princess), Michael Hurst (Terry Teo) and Cliff Curtis (Fear The Walking Dead*), the film was described as “startling, voluptuous … witty sensual entertainment” by the Dominion and made a big splash in Australia and New Zealand upon its original release.
On Monday, Kiwi stars gathered at The Civic theatre to watch the remastered Desperate Remedies in its original format, not seen for over 20 years.
See who we spotted at the re-premiere!
