Cactus is a 1986 Australian drama film directed by Paul Cox and starring Isabelle Huppert.

Production

The film was inspired by Paul Cox's memory of his mother temporarily going blind when he was a child. He worked on the story for a number of years, then decided he wanted to work with Isabelle Huppert and wrote the script with her in mind. Bob Ellis worked on the script but fought with Cox over the fact it was about a Frenchwoman staying in Australia after a serious accident, and the two men ended their collaboration.

Actors Equity objected to Huppert's importation - Equity rules stated a film needed a budget of over $3 million to have a foreign star - but this was overruled after two months of negotiation.

The Australian Film Corporation was a major investor.
