The Thousands

We may never understand Nigel Koop, but writer/director Stephen Banham sure does, at least enough for the two of them to collaborate on a thinly-fictionalised movie about Adelaide’s small-town slacker scene. Banham himself isn’t exactly a paragon of sanity – he gets his dick out at the start of the movie, apparently for no reason at all. Point is, you really ought to see Adelaide. Watching it sort of makes you feel like you live in a more romantic town, like Montreal, or a rain-soaked post-industrial Glaswegian slum. Also you probably know everyone in it. – SM
