Show notes
Scott Reynolds's, Heaven (1998) is a New Zealand film that features crime, sex, and the supernatural. It's the story of our titular Heaven (Daniel Edwards), a transsexual, precognitive stripper who works for a violent member of the underworld, Stanner (Richard Schiff (opens in a new tab)). Moreover, it’s the story of gambler Richard Marling (Martin Donovan> (opens in a new tab)), his wife and her lover, a psychiatrist. And, believe it or not, both of those storylines are all tied together into one larger piece.

Anonymous Not the best "Projection Booth". The conversation felt dominated by a single view of gender politics, and the commentary on the film itself felt neglected.
