About This Woman Is Not a Car
A depressed wife and mother whose reality is starting to fracture into fantasy, drives her children to the beach. On the return journey she stops at a service station to fill up with petrol. Four mechanics eye her off and, as one of them walks towards her car, a full-blown erotic fantasy develops.
Directed by Margaret Dodd, This Woman Is Not a Car leans on a strong ensemble — Phil Colson, Richard Morecroft, Daniel Sedgwick — 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 comedy titles of 1982.
