A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
This all Australian production is both original and darkly funny. Sam Neill plays a dopey cook who, after meeting an attractive night-club waitress, has an incredible run of bad luck. Zoe Carides is very sexy as Neill's nineteen year old love, while John Clarke provides great support as his best friend Dave."Death in Brunswick" is a fine debut from writer-director John Ruane (co-written with Boyd Oxley), as he brings us many moments of hilarity. Last but not least, Sam Neill himself makes a likable, if very non-directional hero, as Carl Fitzgerald. Fantastic to see home grown humour done as well as this.Friday, January 17, 1992 - Video
Dave is the hero of the movie. ¿Who would squash the head of a dead and rotting body just to make a favor to his/her friend? I would not have the guts. The cemetery scenes are both absolute hilarious and insane: 2 friends dragging a dead and farting body into an open grave to create the perfect crime. The Police haven't found the corpse yet. They will never do. And Dave's family complaining because he stinks death Priceless. Cookie is a loser but he has ¿some sex appeal maybe? He also creates all the trouble. I think that Cookie has suffered a lobotomy, and Dave helps him to overcome the problem. You would love these guys. Brunswick is a very horrible place. I visited this suburb in Melbourne and the only missing thing is the Adam's family house. 9/10.
This movie is so off-beat I don't recall ever seeing anything quite like it. And it manages to be truly disgusting in very realistic ways. Very off-beat. Anything with Sam Neill is always worth watching, but I can't say this is one of my favorites. Very off-beat.
Why anyone labeled this a comedy is a mystery to me- the whole movie is downbeat-- from the squalor Cal lives in to the situation at work... It was slow and with the violence not a bit funny.... Sam Neill is kind of cute- but I don't think a 19 year old would fall for him...
