Anna Broinowski writes from Oz that her brilliant nonfiction romp will be opening in theaters here in the US. Roxie Releasing will exhibit the film at New York's Cinema Village starting April 3, at the Sunset Laemmle in Los Angeles starting April 10, and at Chicago's Gene Siskel Film Center beginning April 24.
I saw Broinowski's multi-award winning film at the True/False Film Festival in '08 where it caused much excitement and glee. To see a "doco," as the Aussies call it, this hilarious and entertaining is rare, and to say that the director plays with form and content with extraordinary innovation would be an understatement. It is a roller coaster ride from beginning to end and you will never forget Norma Khouri, a con artist and femme fatale par excellence, a woman who even took Broinowski for a ride.
If there was a category for Best Performance by a Documentary Subject, Khouri would certainly walk away with the prize. And then she'd sell it to the highest bidder. Do not miss the opportunity to see this in the cinema!
