One of the best films I got to see down at CinefestOZ was Judy & Punch starring Mia Wasikowska and Damon Herriman in the lead roles, its a dark and twisted tale but in parts also quite hilarious. It’s definitely one you need to see and its coming to cinemas November 21.
In the anarchic town of Seaside, nowhere near the sea, puppeteers Judy & Punch are trying to resurrect their marionette show. The show is a hit due to Judy’s superior puppeteering, but Punch’s driving ambition and penchant for whisky lead to an inevitable tragedy that Judy must avenge. In a visceral and dynamic live-action reinterpretation of the famous 17th century puppet show, writer director MIRRAH FOULKES turns the traditional story of Punch and Judy on its head and brings to life a fierce, darkly comic and epic female-driven revenge story.
