Bliss (1985 film)

Bliss is a 1985 Australian film directed by Ray Lawrence, co-adapted by Lawrence and Peter Carey, author of the original novel Bliss from which it is adapted.

It starred Barry Otto who, at the time, was best known in Sydney for his theatre work, and Lynette Curran, a veteran star of Australian stage, TV and film and a former co-star of the popular ABC soap opera Bellbird. Notable among the supporting roles is an early film appearance by Gia Carides and an early cameo role by John Doyle.

After a rocky start – 400 of the 2000-strong audience walked out during its first screening at the 1985 Cannes Film Festival – the film went on to receive multiple awards at the AFI awards.

Plot

Harry Joy, an advertising executive in an unnamed Australian city who is known for his ability to tell stories, has a terrifying near-death experience after suffering a massive heart attack, brought on by his dissolute lifestyle. Upon recovering, he believes himself to be either in a hellish version of the world he knew, or with his eyes opened to an altogether different view of that world. He eventually discovers that his wife is unfaithful, his dissolute daughter trades sex for hard drugs with his deviant son, and his latest client is a carcinogenic polluter.

Light To Your Life (feat. Sophie Barker)

by: Bliss

Lately you've been holding on to something you knew was wrong
Now it's time to let it go
You loved him so, wanted to give
But you don't have to live with his suffering
And I don't want to see you cry, wish you'd say goodbye to the past
It's hard to leave the way you love and even harder when you know
The light to your life
You know light
You know the light to your life
You know that it's possible to love yourself
Like everyone else loves you too
Sorry silly so suddenly, you had a vision that you were happily
It's hard to leave the way you love and even harder when you know
The light to your life
You know the light
You know the light to your life
You know
You know the light
You know the light
Lately you've been holding on
You know the light
I don't want to see you cry
Wish you'd say goodbye
Wish you'd say goodbye
