Positive international review. |
| Synopsis |
This review follows Chopper's screening at the Edinburgh film festival where it was a 'gruesomely funny' hit.
The article provides some background knowledge of Mark 'Chopper' Read "Australian convict anti-hero in the Ned Kelly mode" for its British audience.
Fran Bladel's inflammatory comments are referred to and the director of the Edinburgh festival comments on the difficulties involved in securing Chopper's European premiere.
British distributors, Metrodome, plan to sell it on its mixture of violence and black comedy "a kind of real life antipodean Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels". |
