"BLISS is a key film in the story of Australian movies. ... a completely original kind of Australian comedy, with a surreal and sardonic sense of humour. ...The film is gleefully vulgar but sophisticated, irreverent and yet full of poignancy." – Paul Byrnes, Australian Screen Online
Starring Barry Otto, Lynette Curran and Helen Jones.
Screenplay by Ray Lawrence and Peter Carey
Based on the book "Bliss" by Peter Carey
Produced by Anthony Buckley
Directed by Ray Lawrence
