'In Too Deep' is a 1989 erotic thriller film.

Production



The film was raised through private investment including the producers own money. Two weeks into the five-week shoot a major investor pulled out but they managed to complete the film.David Stratton, 'The Avocado Plantation: Boom and Bust in the Australian Film Industry', Pan MacMillan, 1990 p132-133 It was shot under the title 'Mack the Knife'.Ed. Scott Murray, 'Australia on the Small Screen 1970-1995', Oxford Uni Press, 1996 p87

John Tatoulis later stated:

I was interested in two things in 'In Too Deep': one was the corruption of innocents and the other was the strengths and weaknesses of sexuality. And I wanted to set it in an urban landscape. What I was really keen to do was create a mood and a feel through a variety of ways. I believe that film is like a tapestry and all the components that go to making the texture of that tapestry are all important: sound, pictures, editing, performances, direction. If one doesn't work, then the final tapestry won't have the texture the director had in his or her mind to start with. If a film doesn't have a feeling, a feeling that has a texture to it, then it's lacking. So that was something I was very keen to explore: how do I give this film a feeling of claustrophobia, a feeling of heat, a feeling of menace and vulnerability.[https://archive.today/20130222115414/http://www.signis.net/malone/tiki-index.php?page=John+Tatoulis&bl&PHPSESSID=d9e0790f2c945fa243e6834289981ab6 John Tatoulis interview 20 May 1997].
