The men's job, and the film, changes entirely when Gerry, an itinerant Aussie rock climber, comes on the scene. Gerry is appealingly played by the athletic and attractive Rachel Griffiths, who was so terrific in Muriel's Wedding. After Gerry proves her climbing prowess by scrambling straight to the top of a perilously high tower, Ray takes her on as part of the crew. Wise, gentle Ray and randy, callow Steve both fall hard for Gerry, and for a while it looks like she will settle down with one of them. A tender love story and an exploration of men's and women's roles in working-class Britain, Among Giants is gorgeously shot, with stunning "giant's eye" views of the Yorkshire countryside, as seen from atop the high-tension towers. --Laura Mirsky

Customer Reviews of Among Giants
Don't waste your dough At US$103, this video is a waste of money. At 50cents it would be waste of money. No plot, no script and the worlds worst actor Pete Postlething.
Among Giants: A Giant's eye view of the human heart
Among Giants stirred my emotions like only a few other movies have done. Hidden deep, and I mean deep in the contrast of the yorkshire countryside and Ray's last chance at a meaninfgul relationship is the perfect view that only a Giant could see. By scaling the heights of the towers Ray unconsiuosly is living his view of life: robust with feeling, is a setting that few others can survive in. By adding the love intrest of Gerry he comes close to fulfilling his vision. But life is uncertain as well as unfair. Gerry's and Ray's emotional unfulfillemnt plays upon the heart like a violin. For a while Ray is at peace and like the real world life is "not always" bad. This should be the case at least once for all of us.
