Saara Lamberg brings to life the quirky, unhinged and deliciously despicable character Tuuli who travels to Australia to start a new life after leaving her homeland in Finland. Tuuli uses her sexual power to get what she wants from men, and leaves behind a trail of destruction and devastation. We discover early on that Tuuli has a twin Suvi, and the film jumps back and forth from the past in Finland to the present day. Ms. Lamberg plays both roles with pathos, also the subtle nuances required to convey each character is ever so present which is a testament to Saara's skill as an actor. Innuendo features many local actors from Melbourne, notably Andy Hazel who plays the timid and dejected Thomas and Brendan Bacon delivers an engaging, heartfelt and cheeky performance as the love interest Ben.
Shot in Melbourne, Australia and in Finland on a micro budget, the debut feature also written and directed by Saara Lamberg leaves the viewer absolutely mesmerized by chainsaw sculpting, nude modelling, very very fringe and experimental theatre and the utterly reprehensible actions of the protagonist.
A truly ambitious independent feature that delves into the psyche. The talented Saara Lamberg is definitely one to watch in the future.
