this must be one of the most refreshing surprise i saw in a long time . look boring but it ultrahilarious . in documentary style we learn something about australia dirty history ( well this be a satire so do not check out the net for verification and okay . ) we go back in the early fifty at where we find an australian communist joan fraser ( judy davis ) who really would give her life for the red star and it go so far that she can arrange to meet the man stalin himself ( all of course before the public knew of his slaughter ) and what joan never expect . she end up in bed with stalin but a the man be walk on his last foot and he die . agent nine ( sam neil ) tell her she a hero who save russia and that same night she also end up in his bed . not know what to do joan return to australia find out that she be pregnant . she doesn not tell her australian boyfriend who the father of her child be . but the poor bd accepts . but soon trouble happens when agent nine return to the land of the kangaroo . cos the question be represent who be the father . he or stalin . thing of hilarious thing be follow and we follow the day of the child joe welch ( richard roxburgh ) . for communist mum he a perfect child . always to be see at manifestation against the vietnamwar but then the nightmare strike . joe fall in love with a female cop . really it totally hilarious even if the personage always stay sober but it the kind of script that leave you not one minute in silence . a perfect film from a rather unknown director and see it .
