Re: Rebecca Gibney

Am Sonntag hat in OZ ein TV-Film mit Rebecca Premiere.



'The day I died began like an ordinary day," says Maria Korp, voiced by Rebecca Gibney, in the opening narration of Nine's telemovie Wicked Love.

"Except by then no day was ordinary. I'm the woman in the boot. This is my story."

Maria Korp's name was in the headlines five years ago when she was strangled in the garage of her home in Melbourne's outer suburbs and left to die in the boot of her car. Her husband, Joe (played by Vince Colosimo), accused his mistress, Tania Herman (Maya Elliot), of the crime but she claimed the pair were co-conspirators, opening a Pandora's box of suburban swingers, psychics, manipulation and desire.

Unlike most real-life crime that is dramatised for television, where the final chapter is played out in a courtroom and "justice is served", the story of Maria Korp is full of loose threads. Though her abductors had left her for dead, Korp survived and, after several months in a coma, only died when her feeding tube was removed. Herman pleaded guilty to attempted murder and was sentenced to 12 years jail. Joe Korp, charged with his wife's murder after her death, took his own life on the day of her funeral.

Wicked Love is produced by David Taylor and David Maher, directed by Ian Watson and written by Ellie Beaumont, from a book by Sunday Herald Sun journalist Carly Crawford, who covered the case from when it was just a story about a 50-year-old mother of two who had gone missing.

In the months that followed, Crawford spoke at length to Joe Korp and, in the book, assembles a complex mosaic of diary entries by both Maria and Joe, text messages exchanged by Joe and Tania and statements to police by Tania and her brother. She also covered the controversy that erupted when it was ruled that Maria Korp should be allowed to die.

"It's a story with great characters," Taylor says. "It's not a procedural, it's not a join-the-dots. It was a story we all followed in the papers and it was one of those stories which was stranger than fiction. You couldn't write it because it would be unbelievable. If you storylined it on a whiteboard you would feel it was a bit off but at its core it's a captivating, true crime story. A great suburban story."

Taylor and Maher's production company, Playmaker, is relatively young and the pair were keen to put it on the map with a distinctive project. They liked the idea of a true crime story but wanted to move away from telemovies such as The Society Murders and My Husband, My Killer, which dealt with cases with a clearly established framework.

"We were looking for something in true crime that was different, not something which was a presentation of the facts we knew and you get to the end of the film without having any revelation or insight," Maher says. " 'No police' was the very first conversation we had; they're not ineffectual, they're just peripheral."

Maher and Taylor admit it was a difficult pitch to television networks. "There were no black and white answers, no definitive final outcome, it was written in a non-linear way and narrated from beyond the grave," Maher says. But Nine's head of drama, Jo Horsburgh, bit.

"She said 'go for it' and she had a lot of trust in Ellie Beaumont. It's more of a whydunit than a whodunit."

Wicked Love's director of photography, Mark Wareham, production designer, Sam Rickard, and music supervisor, Paul Healy, have created something quite intriguing. A sense of unease soaks parts of the film, the kind of creeping doom that Korp herself begins to think taints the family home, aided by a soundtrack with an earthy, bluesy sound. That jagged tone is amplified as the two narratives of the past (the love triangle) and the present (the unfolding investigation) – slide inexorably towards a collision.

It isn't film noir but it's close. Taylor calls it "modern" film noir. "There was a moment about six weeks out from the shoot, we were throwing our favourite films around how we wanted to do it and then we looked at a list of modern film noir titles and all the films we had just discussed were on that list and something just gelled. It's a tragedy, from the outset, and that's what a lot of modern film noir is," he says.

Maher says they were more interested in stimulating discussion than delivering definitive answers. "We wanted to generate questions, to make people talk about it, to explore all those conflicted opinions. As you watch, your opinion of Tania and Joe and Maria is kind of undulating as the story progresses."

Gibney imbues the character of Maria with a strong sense of loyalty and an unwavering love of her husband, although it is challenged enormously. Joe is more complex; a man who, in a police interview, explains his loyalty to his wife over his mistress by pointing out that his wife ironed his shirts with perfect creases while his mistress did not.

"Couldn't you just do your ironing yourself?" the investigator asks in reply.

"In Joe, we needed an actor who could make you understand why, to some degree, a woman might go to the lengths she did and might stick by him through some fairly extreme behaviour," Maher says. "Vince is the guy; he has that charisma [but] we're certainly not making an apology for Joe Korp."

The film leaves you in no doubt as to who was behind the abduction and eventual murder of Maria but it withholds judgment. "We wanted to tell the Maria Korp story," Taylor says. "So it is from Maria's point of view but we're mindful not to be the judge and jury on it."

Wicked Love airs on Nine on Sunday at 8.30pm.
