I lived in Australia for three years in the 90s, and in my hazy, sunny, colorful memories, it looks a lot like Muriel’s Wedding, a film that distilled the provincially surreal, neon-camp essence of Oz at the end of the 20th century.
This is one of my favorite movies. It's a classic example of a movie being much, much better than the cover. My wife and I were in Blockbuster poking around and saw this film sitting on the shelf. It billed itself as a riotous comedy, and while it is funny, it is so much more than that as Nellie notes. It was also the beginning of my love affair with Toni Collette.
Yay Nellie!!!! I love Muriel’s Wedding ❤️💙💛

Added to my watchlist! Great write-up, Nellie!
More Aussie movies please!
