Sirens film

Sirens is a 1994 film written and directed by John Duigan and set in Australia between the two World Wars. The film stars Hugh Grant as an Anglican priest, asked to visit a notorious artist (Norman Lindsay, based loosely on that real Australian artist) out of the church's concern about a blasphemous painting the artist wants to exhibit.

The artist is played by Sam Neill; Tara Fitzgerald plays the priest's wife, who accompanies him on the visit to the artist's bucolic compound in the Blue Mountains. The artist's models are played by Elle Macpherson, Portia de Rossi, and Kate Fischer.
