THE BLUS BROTHERS: SUNBURNT SCREENS - SIRENS + HEAD ON

The Blus Brothers (formerly A Serious Disc Agreement) is a physical media review show on an omission from VOD.

Alexei Toliopoulos (Finding Drago, Total Reboot) and Blake Howard (One Heat Minute) expand their IMPRINT COMPANION podcast to include the best physical media releases worldwide. For this episode, we're discussing Umbrella Entertainment's Sunburnt Screens label - SIRENS and HEAD ON.

SIRENS (1993) (SUNBURNT SCREENS #11) BLU-RAY

It is 1930s Australia, a debonair, forward-thinking young clergyman, Anthony Campion (Hugh Grant, ABOUT A BOY) has arrived from England with his wife Estella (Tara Fitzgerald) to find a scandal brewing. Notorious bohemian Norman Lindsay (Sam Neill, THE DISH) is exhibiting a picture that has outraged the church establishment, and the Bishop of Sydney prevails on Anthony to visit the painter and negotiate its withdrawal.

The couple travel to the beautiful Blue Mountains and spend several days with the Lindsay family and three free-spirited models (Elle MacPherson, Kate Fischer and Portia De Rossi) who are posing for a nude painting of the legendary Sirens. As Anthony debates with Norman, he is shocked to realise his wife is being drawn into the seductive games of the three sirens, and soon fears his very marriage is under threat. Slyly humorous, sexy and ravishing to look at, Sirens is a feast for the senses.
