Review: May Contain Traces of Reading

Published by

Imagine a stand-up comedy show where the star doesn’t utter a single word.

You could be excused for being apprehensive in anticipation of a badly executed mime, but this show is more ‘giant palm cards’ than Marcel Marceau, laced with a touch of Mr Bean. It’s an interesting navigation of Robert Mitchell’s checklist of comedy prowess through the unspoken word.

The beauty of this style of show is the lack of of awkward silences, remedied by Mitchell’s arsenal of Dad jokes kept up his sleeve (or in his carefully pre-prepared folder).

Supported by a sassy sidekick of the digital variety, this show is warm, expressive and performed like a well-oiled machine, and unique in that heckling is highly encouraged during the performance – if only so Robert can make excellent use of his rather large pre-prepared folder chock-full of ‘sick comedian burns’.

The show fell a little short for me after a long day of reading at work, but is relatively family friendly and has definite appeal for the deaf community.

“May Contain Traces of Reading” honestly does what it says on the tin – so don’t forget to bring your glasses, or it will be a very long night.

OPENING AND CLOSING NIGHT
Opening the Festival in each city is the feel-good flick Little Forest. Starring Kim Tae-ri (The Handmaiden), the film follows a young woman as she leaves the big city behind and returns to her country hometown, reuniting with childhood friends. Cosy, relaxing and satisfying, Little Forest will have audiences yearning for the simple life.  

The closing night film is the poignant and lively Korean art-house smash Microhabitat. Winner of the CGV Arthouse Award at 2017 Busan International Film Festival, Microhabitat is the directorial debut of Jeon Go-woon and follows aging housekeeper Mi-so. To Mi-so as long as she can afford her three greatest pleasures – whisky, cigarettes and her boyfriend – she’ll be happy. But when her landlord raises the rent, and the cost of cigarettes increases, she decides to ditch the roof over her head and journey through Seoul to reconnect with her old college friends and crash on their couches.

Microhabitat’s Jeon Go-woon (Director), Ahn Jae-hong (Actor) and Kim Soon-mo (Producer) will be guests of the Festival for the Sydney screening and will hold a Q&A following the film’s screening.

FESTIVAL HEADLINERS:
Hallyuwood and Hollywood come together in A Taxi Driver, which was selected as South Korea’s pick for the Foreign-Language category at the 2018 Academy Awards. Based off the real-life Gwangju Uprising of 1980, the film stars Kang-ho Song (Snowpiercer) as he drives a German journalist from Seoul to Gwangju city in the middle of a political uprising. The filmis a richly imagined tribute to a Korean working-class hero.

In the moving dramedy, Keys to the Heart, Lee Byung-hun (The Magnificent Seven) and Park Jung-mun enter each other’s lives when they discover they’re half-brothers.

THRILLERS:
For those who love a bit of a thrill, there is 7 Years of Night, which follows a man as he struggles to cope with his guilt and paranoia after accidentally killing a young woman; Golden Slumber explores the danger of mass media sensationalism and public witch-hunts as an everyman’s peaceful life is turned upside down when a black ops organisation frames him for the murder of a presidential candidate.

In Forgotten, a twisty violent tale of amnesia and murder unfolds as man investigates his brother’s strange disappearance after he reappears with no memory of it. Forgotten Director Chang Hang-jun and Producer Jang Won-seok will be guests of the Festival and present a Q&A following the film’s screening in Sydney.

In a directorial debut from Lee Chang-hee, The Vanished is a stylish psychological thriller that draws on Alfred Hitchcock and classic European Noir, as the body of a powerful businesswoman vanishes from the morgue and her trophy-husband becomes the key suspect.

DRAMAS:
For something more reserved, but still with a dramatic punch, A Haunting Hitchhike is the debut feature from Jeong Heejae – following the lonely, but hopeful, journey of one teenage girl seeking out her long-lost mother. The film won Jeong the special Audience Award at the Seoul International Women’s Film Festival.

In the spirit of Groundhog Day (1993), A Day is about a surgeon who returns home, eager to reconnect with his teenage daughter, only to find her killed by a taxi when he arrives. His nightmare worsens when he wakes up on the plane again and realises he must re-live the traumatic morning over and over again.

Addressing the issues of mixed-identity and connecting with your roots, Champion follows a lonely and unfilled former arm-wrestler as he returns to Korea from the United States to resume his sports career and search for his biological family.

In Last Child, a grieving couple mourn the tragic loss of their son after he drowned in a river saving his friend. The boy’s father takes an interest in his son’s friend, and his wife embraces him into their family. But the boy hasn’t told them the truth on what happened that day at the river. Similarly, in Mothers, a woman must take in her deceased husband’s teenage son from another marriage. Hesitant and unable to connect with him, the film explores complex relationships and family ties.

Stand by Me is a heart-warming story of a grandfather as he struggles to support his grandchildren, in their parents’ absence. Realising his time is short, and that his grandchildren can’t support themselves yet, he prepares a present for them that may be the very last thing he can give.

Those who love gritty crime dramas won’t be disappointed with Believer, about a troubled and obsessed detective hell-bent on arresting the main crime lord of Asia’s largest drug cartel. When a lab explosion wipes out most of the kingpin’s higher-ups, the lone survivor decides to help take the boss down for good. This gritty crime epic is a remake of Johnnie To’s 2012 award winning hit film Drug War.

COMEDY
I Can Speak is a delightful story of an unlikely friendship between a young, eager-to-please civil servant Min-jae and an elderly lady, nicknamed ‘Goblin Granny’. Terrorizing Min-jae daily, Goblin Granny strikes up a deal with him. When she learns he speaks English: she’ll stop the complaints in exchange for English lessons, so she can reconnect with her long-lost brother in America. I Can Speak is a lighthearted Korean comedy that packs a political punch.

What a Man Wants is a delicious dramedy exploring the taboos of infidelity. A habitual womaniser falls into a deep depression when his wife suddenly dies; his brother-in-law is miserable in his own marriage and finds his eyes wandering on an enchanting stranger. Things get messy when his wife hires her as to be the housekeeper for her womanising brother’s.

An absurd game of cat-and-mouse ensues between seven men when a misunderstanding during an assassination plot goes awry in Snatch Up. Part crime thriller part black comedy The Snatch Up is a laugh out loud look at the entwined destinies of seven men trying to get ahead in life.

Midnight Runners resembles buddy-cop favourites like 21 Jump Street (2012) and Police Academy (1984), but with an exciting and dark twist. A slow-witted jock and shy bookworm become best-friends during their time at Police University and, after witnessing a woman being kidnapped on a night out, the pair launch their own investigation.

HORROR:
Injecting some new life into the found-footage genre is Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum, which follows a team exploring an allegedly haunted asylum for a YouTube horror web-series. Unbeknownst to the team, the leader has staged a hoax to boost the video’s views – but when the scares veer off-script, they realise legitimate supernatural forces may be at work. 

FANTASY:
The pretty and peculiar, Glass Garden, follows a brilliant Ph.D. student with a gift for communicating with nature as she goes deep into the forest after a heartbreak. She gets the attention of a novelist, whom she fascinates. However, he soon realises something mysterious is happening. Glass Garden is a pretty, peculiar fable that promises a compelling viewing experience.

Be with You is a love story that blends the perfect amount of warmth and melancholic sadness together. A grieving widower struggles to cope with the loss of his wife, alongside his devastated son, who firmly believes his mother will return during the rainy season, as said in his favourite fairy-tale. When she does return, the boys try to rebuild her memories and spend the rest of the season fearing what will happen to her when it ends.

Review: Oil Babies

Published by
Image: Lachlan Woods


Harrowing.

That’s how I would describe the powerful opening scene of Oil Babies when it debuted this week at Northcote Town Hall. Described as an ‘exploration of our relationship to climate change and the female body’ and brought to life by three, strong female leads, Oil Babies is an impactful, confronting and distinctly female performance piece which focussed on the not unknown concerns about real-life human anxieties, the health and future of planet earth.

Dark, peppered with enough comedy to keep you from the pits of despair, and laced together with real-world issues and environmental disasters – the narrative rotates around three female characters; one couple, and a single friend with crippling anxiety as they navigate their own views on body image, social and environmental wellbeing and fears for the future.

You’ll certainly walk away with a bleak awareness of one’s own impact on the planet – and that nagging constant reminder that just like the dinosaurs – we are not ourselves immune from ultimate extinction.

A smartly designed set and terrific sound engineering really hammer home the messaging.

A fast-moving, relatable and hard-hitting genre, wrapped up in a highly-entertaining package. Definitely worth seeing.

4 stars.

P.S Northcote Town Hall is located on High Street, the 86 tram line. There is a plethora of local bars and restaurants in this precinct, so make a night out of it.

Mandela My Life: The Official Exhibition

Published by

The highly anticipated world premiere of Mandela My Life: The Official Exhibition opens at the prestigious Melbourne Museum on Saturday 22nd September 2018. Produced by iEC Exhibitions, TEG Live and Museums Victoria, in full collaboration with The Nelson Mandela Foundation of South Africa as their only official global exhibition, this brand-new, world-class exhibition will exclusively open in Australia before commencing on a 5-year worldwide museum tour from 2019.

The producers are delighted to announce the first of many original objects to be featured in Mandela My Life: The Official Exhibition to coincide the 100th anniversary of Nelson Mandela’s birth today. This exhibition will be a world first, with a rich collection of artifacts, documents and personal items expertly curated to share the story of Mandela’s rich and colourful life.

Some of the confirmed original objects that will feature in Mandela My Life: The Official Exhibition include the boxing glove signed and gifted by Muhammad Ali to Mandela, who was an avid boxing fan and met Ali several times after 1990. The shoes and walking cane used by Mandela in his senior years will be among the key objects to feature in the exhibition as well as some of his favourite ‘Madiba shirts’ that brightened the corridors of power.

The Pass Laws Act of 1952 required all black South Africans over the age of 16 to carry a passbook and was brutally enforced as part of the apartheid regime until it’s abolition in 1986. In 1960, Nelson Mandela burnt his passbook following the massacre of anti-passbook protesters at Sharpeville. An original and rare passbook that belonged to a young man and was signed by Nelson Mandela will be on display at the exhibition. This is an extremely rare object as few people cared to hold on to their passbooks once the pass laws had been abolished.

The exhibition will also feature a deep and rich archive of images, film and sound recordings including film footage of what is believed to be the earliest film of Nelson Mandela being interviewed during a break in the ‘Treason Trial’ of 1956-1961. Mandela was one of 156 defendants, along with members of all other anti-apartheid movements, in a trial that was designed to dismantle the People’s Congress Alliance and attack the Freedom Charter.

Providing a rare and touching glimpse into the personal life of Nelson Mandela, this official Mandela exhibition has been curated into ten galleries in the Touring Hall at Melbourne Museum and explores his difficult and sometimes controversial life fighting for equality and democracy.

Expertly curated by a team of Museums Victoria staff and headed by iEC Exhibitions’ Samantha Heywood, the exhibition will feature personal artefacts and documents, many of which have never-before left South Africa, offering an insight into the world that shaped Mandela’s journey from the rural Transkei to the political world stage.

The 800m2 exhibition will include outstanding artworks, original artefacts and genuine replications of rare content from the Nelson Mandela archives, including manuscripts from his writings in prison, taking visitors through a multi-sensory, interactive, educational and emotive journey of Mandela’s 95 years of life.

When: 22 September 2018 ~ 3 March 2019
Where: Melbourne Museum, 11 Nicholson Street
