It is, hands down, THE most requested film for London Australian Film Society, and now they return on May 8 (MATE!) for their fourth annual screening of Australian comedy classic, THE CASTLE.
When the Kerrigan’s airport-adjacent family home is threatened with compulsory acquisition, sweet-natured patriarch Darryl (Michael Caton) takes his fight all the way to the High Court. An Ealing-eque comedy set in Melbourne’s daggy outer suburbs, this low budget marvel, from the team behind TV’s D-Generation and The Late Show became an instant cult classic, full of quotable quips and mountains of bathos.
Don't miss your opportunity to bag a seat to this regular sell-out session, which will also feature a new Aussie short film, and a host of other surprises, as well as the usual Australian snacks and sweets on sale, and a raffle will be held before the screening.
How’s the serenity?
With thanks to Iconic Features.

“Further proof that the Aussies love to make affectionate fun of the tackiest aspects of their culture.” David Ansen, Newsweek
