As if Australia hasn't produced enough quirky films, along comes Welcome to Woop Woop. Filmmaker
Stephan Elliott, famous for his direction of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, takes the Australian
stereotypical'yobbo'image and exaggerates it to the point where it becomes annoying rather than funny.
it "seems to have something to say about society's desire to be politically correct but I doubt many will be able to take it seriously.
Welcome to Woop Woop is pointless, poorly made and pretentious."
Welcome to Woop Woop is somewhat different.
"A magnificent musical score, exuberant acting and an inspired set allow
Elliott to establish and maintain a wonderful and bazarre fantasy world.
... makes fun of a mob of ill educated and unfortunate Aussies who live in an Orwellian theme park complete with Hollywood music...
... Working class Australians are the heroes of Elliott's films... it seems overdue for Australiana, and ordinary Australians to reappear prominently in our cinemas at a time when our culture is under such a serious threat from the ravages of globalisation and the attendant unemployment.
Perhaps they mirror the way alot of middle class urban Australians are feeling these days. They've lost their freedom to a despot but at least Daddy'O stays in town and (so far) doesn't export their profits overseas."
