Says the press release:
One of the best movies on the planet, Australian or otherwise: 'Muriel's Wedding.'
When I saw it in 1994 at the cinema I was mesmerised by the
sheer Australian-ness of it.
The Heslop family eating a meal of 'Chinee' with a lazy
Susan full of the menu's best, the town of Porpoise Spit, gay nightclubbing with Rhonda (Rachel Griffiths is perfection) in Sydney,
Tania the over-tanned bully (played to perfection by Sophie
Lee), and of course… poor Muriel, the breakthrough role which made a name
for Aussie actress Toni Collette.
Here's a classic scene:
Says the press release:
"You're invited to one of the most celebrated and audaciously
funny hit comedies of the last 20 years - Muriel's Wedding! Celebrate the
digitally remastered 20th anniversary edition of this Australian classic with
frumpy, misguided Muriel Heslop (Toni Collette - 'Rake') and her lifelong quest
for a glitzy fairy-tale wedding. With visions of nuptials dancing in her head,
this ABBA-obsessed misfit ditches her pathetic life and plastic friends in a
small Australian suburb for big-city dreams in Sydney. But the road to the
altar takes surprising twists and turns - and Muriel is about to learn the
lesson of a lifetime. Wry, witty and hailed by critics everywhere, Muriel's
Wedding is one affair you don't want to miss."
