Best film about politics ever
This film does for politics what Spinal; Tap did for rock music. Only difference is that this is a real documentary, not a mockumentary with scripted jokes. It has pretty much everything to recommend it. Some brilliant lines, some amazing twists in the events and a great ending. If everyone saw this film, politics would be far more popular. Larry Hand is the left-wing Mayor of Leichardt, a small township outside Sydney. Once a member of the Australian Labor Party (ALP), he was obviously expelled at some point but took that in his stride, saying "I've always felt you haven't really joined the ALP until you've been expelled from it." Now his term is up and it looks as if he won't be re-elected by the council as Labor runs a candidate against him. But he decides to fight to keep the job with a mix of charm and cheating. Absolutely compulsive whether or not you are interested in politics or Australia or neither.
