The EngagementA is a taut psychological thriller in which the deft blurring of reality and dark fantasy rivals that of Luis Bunuel's classicA Belle de Jour. Liese Campbell has an engagement for the weekend: to stay with Alexander Colquhoun, the well - mannered heir of a pastoral dynasty, at his property in western Victoria. Liese, an English architect in flight from the financial crisis, now works at her uncle's real - estate business in Melbourne. Alexander has been looking for a place in the city. The luxury apartments Liese shows him have become sets for a relationship that satisfies their fantasies - and helps pay her debts. It's a game. Both players understand the rules. Or so she thinks. Across the ancient landscape they drive at dusk to his grand decaying mansion. Here Liese senses a change in Alexander, and realises a different game has begun.
