À propos de ce film

The Nation should never have heard of Darryl Kerrigan. The Kerrigan family should still be living at 3 Highview Crescent Cooloroo, in total obscurity.
They were terrible houses on worthless land. The compulsory acquisition should go through without a hitch... Right?... Wrong.
To Darryl it was never a house; it was a home and a very happy one.
How Darryl and his small time suburban lawyer mate, Dennis Denuto assist by a new friend, retired QC Lawrence Hamill ended up in the High Court of Australia is the story told in The Castle.
If you thought Burke and Wills were the worst equipped people in Australian history, you're in for a big surprise.
The Castle is a sweeping saga that takes the harsh Australian outback, the rugged characters of the ANZAC legend, the spirit of Banjo Patterson and ignores them in favour of a greyhound racing, tow-truck driver who never meant to be a hero. 1997 Working Dog Productions. All Rights Reserved

Notes et avis

A loveable working class family find themselves in danger of losing their home when big business and government try to trample on the little people. A very funny look at Australians! This movie and The Dish are the classic Australian comedies - watch both of them, you won't regret it.

Arrrrrgh the serenity of when Dale dug a hole! Anyone that says anything else tell em they re dreaming. An Aussie classic that goes straight to the pool room!

This movie is easily one of the best Australian movies of all time. If anyone says anything against it, tell him he's dreamin! ;)
