Success of Kenny

With the rampaging success of Kenny at the cinemas I thought I'd go and find some of the best articles that have been written about it in the last few weeks. There's some really good stuff written, including an article that compares Jindabyne and Kenny as Australian culture pieces. The author quite rightly comes to the conclusion that Jindabyne is a piece of artistic elitism while Kenny actually has something important to say. I couldn't agree more.


Creators of Kenny are on a Roll

Kenny Plumbs New Heights

He's on the Throne

And the elitist comparison:
Loo Man's the True-Blue Model

I love this film. I blogged it a few weeks ago and have been telling all my friends they must see it. I sent a girl a know who was visiting from the US and she didn't like it at all though - she said she found the ausie self-depreciating humour tiresome and 'so not funny'. It does say something about us, I think, that so many of our cultural products are satiric. Anyway, Kenny is a gem. Looking foward to more from the Jacobsons.

Sisi- I know how you feel. So many movies...

Ag- If there's one thing we do well it's satire, especially at ourselves. Funny about your American friend too because if there's one thing Americans dont do well it's self satire.
