WHEN WE WERE MODERN
It Takes Three To Tango
Beyond the landscape of passion was a sea of obsession, a love triangle, a romantic rivalry where love and art were never ending.
In the late ’30s in Australia, wealthy bohemians, John and Sunday Reed champion an unknown young artist, Sidney Nolan. Sunday and Sidney begin an affair with John’s complete consent. Sidney feels suffocated and breaks the triangle announcing he is to marry John's charismatic sister Cynthia, a romantic rival to Sunday. Cynthia is John and Sunday combined in the one person. For Sunday, love is final and thus never ending.
