Director: David Caesar

Summary: Kev and Mick are a pair of aimless suburban Australian slackers whose lives revolve around procuring beer and watching television. One day, it dawns upon them to rob a bank in order to alleviate their boredom, based on how easy it seems on TV. When the big day happens, however, things don't go as smoothly as planned. Taking cues from Tarantino, but with stronger roots in grim reality, the film features kinetic camera work, a strong musical soundtrack, and energetic performances. A fast-paced, well-reviewed black comedy along the lines of TRAINSPOTTING from the director of the Australian cult hit BAD BOY BUBBY.

Editor's Review

amazon.co.uk Kev watches too much television, the Idiot Boxof the title. An unemployed hooligan, he wants there to be something in his life apart from vandalism, drink and perfunctory sex. He rages against dogs and people who are as rude to him as he is to everybody--anger is who he is. His best friend Mick is even more bad natured, and between them they concoct a doomed bank-robbery. Kev beats up the police informer who sells him the guns; the police are watching the bank, waiting for it to be attacked by an entirely different bank robber; and their stolen getaway car is reclaimed by its owner. Often very funny, Idiot Boxis a terrifying film about the stuntedness of young male Australian working class lives. Ben Mendelsohn and Jeremy Sims bring pathos and wit to their portrayals of Kev and Mick, while also making it clear that these are not young men you would wish to meet or fall out with. David Caesar's deliberately jagged directorial style echoes the adrenalin-driven lives of his protagonists and keeps us constantly on edge as he cuts between story lines. --Roz Kaveney
