The Movie Monday Society presents a screening of The Castle on November 4 at the Eric Martin Pavilion. Special guest Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen.
About the movie:
85 min., 1997, R: Nils Jensen's review: The Castle is an Australia almost-cult classic small budget movie with big results. It grossed over A$10 million - over 13 times what it cost to make.It's unpretentious, funny and very heart warming. The movie tells the story of the Kerrigan family who live modestly and happily next to the Melbourne Airport until they are faced with expropriation as the airport expands. The location is terribly un-Oak Bay being next to a runway, on top of a toxic landfill and under power lines. But to the Kerrigan's it's their home, their Castle. While it's the classic tale of the little guy against Big Government and Big Business at its core it's really about family and community values. R (for language I suppose)
