Press Club - Late Teens

Late Teens is what happens when four Melbourne musicians come together to create a body of work entirely devoid of outside influence, being answerable to only themselves. Over six weeks, bassist Iain MacRae’s house was converted into a temporary song-writing sweatshop where the band wrote forty songs that were distilled into the dozen that make up the track list on Late Teens. Relying upon the experiences of their friends and people they know as subject matter, Late Teens thematically approaches displacement, relationships, internal turmoil, gentrification and inequality.

La Ch'tite Famille

Following the success of 2008’s Bienvenue Chez Les Ch’tis, it’s surprising that it took writer/director/actor Dany Boon ten years to release a sequel. Well, it’s actually more of a spinoff. And it’s even more surprising that it took him this long to end up with a movie as crappy as this one. La Ch’tite Famille once again sees Boon playing a lovable, heavily accented man from the northern part of France but other than that the movie doesn’t have a lot in common with the first one.
