Thou Shalt Not Steal

Australia has its very own new version of the Coen Brothers in Dylan River, co-creator and director who borrows a little from the Coen classics, Raising Arizona and O' Brother, with the manic style and visual flair. And this is a bloody good thing! What Dylan also brings to the storytelling is the Aussie larrikin humour and characters that have a lot to say about the social dysfunction of the very fabric of this country (from false religious ministers to sex exploiters of the indigenous folks).

This is a road movie that also encompasses the Aussie outback culture in all its harsh beauty and racial ugliness, as Robyn (stunning wry performance from Sherry-Lee Watson) takes an odyssey across Australia to find her supposedly dead father, and along the way encounters loveable rogues and the drench of remote scoundrels in this dark twisted comedy with a brilliant supporting cast that ham it up perfectly to the max.
