MR ELECTRIC is set in 1956. Bill, an Aboriginal electrician, returns to his home town to make peace with the racist, white-trash family who fostered him as a child and finds that his childhood sweetheart has married his best friend. Something has happened in the past which no one can forget. Bill offers to wire up their house and, in the process, wires up their relationship.
Directed by Stuart McDonald, Mr. Electric leans on a strong ensemble — Ernie Dingo, Leverne McDonnell, Daryl Pellizzer — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1993.
