在这部私語時刻短片/剧情片中,珍康萍生於紐西蘭，卻是在澳洲電影電視廣播學院唸電
影，1982至1984這段期間，她所拍的四部短片就已展現
出驚人的透視觀點與影像張力，包括刻畫青少女純真夢
想的【披頭狂少女】、性別剝削的心理劇電影【性騷擾
】、實驗性強烈的【私語時刻】、以及在坎城獲得最佳
短片金棕櫚獎的【橘皮內戰】。從這些作品，我們不僅
看到澳洲短片傳統的優異，更看到一顆敏感的電影心靈
如何萌芽。
A voice says, "There are 1,000,000 moments in your neighborhood; each has a fragile presence which fades almost as it forms." Ten such moments are dramatized, from a chubby man exercising and realizing that "sex" and "thing" go together to an ill, bored child discovering that most pieces of paper fit on top of a Scotties box. Along the way, a child races time, a matron thinks she hears a woodpecker, an unfaithful gay man wonders why his eyes can't focus on two depths simultaneously, Angela thinks about her uncle's pet pig as she eats pork, beer-drinking Ed recalls his school football days and vows to get back in shape, and a bachelor remembers his mother.
