Product Overview
Everything is not as it seems in James Vaughan's ambitious debut feature, an ostensibly breezy comedy in which an aimless young man is caught in a series of mishaps and missed social cues. Despite the inconsequentiality suggested by the film's mumblecore elements, Vaughan skilfully crafts a nightmare world where placid Australian cityscapes and beaches are transformed into subtly oppressive environments, and in which the unspoken history of colonial dispossession lingers, writes Eileen Jones.
