Two Cents of the Dingo – Quickest Review in the Outback
Mommy, what’s the Spanish Civil War, and why are the hobbit’s friends there?
Cinema takes on a dual role of entertainer and sage in this parable that
uses the Spanish civil war and an underground fantasy world to illustrate
lessons about blind faith, unquestioning obedience, and selling out one’s
ideals.
The DVD packaging makes this look like a movie for little kids, but it
most certainly is not, unless you’re into alternately traumatizing and
boring your young offspring, in which case, this is the movie you’ve
been waiting for.

Two Cents of the Dingo – Quickest Review in the Outback
Are there any volunteers to sign up for a subversive romantic dark comedy, set in a
government-run scrap yard?
Junkyards (and governments) are considered by many to be humorless and
somewhat less than romantic, but this captivating scrap heap offers daily
opportunities to forge those special bonds that come from working together
to meet ever-increasing production quotas, and sharing a few resigned laughs
along the path to overcoming unseemly bourgeois habits, such as playing saxophone,
teaching university courses, and attempting to leave the country.
Being oppressed has never been so much fun, and nothing ever sullies the mood
except for the forced labor… and the fences… and the guards… and prison.
Good times, I tell you. Good times.
