Moonlight & Magic (2007)

Moonlight u0026 Magic: Directed by Timothy Spanos. With Maxine Klibingaitis, Tim Burns, Elspeth Ballantyne, Clinton Nain. On the 15th of January 2005, two homeless punks commenced a whirlwind spree of bizarre crimes throughout regional Victoria in Australia. They held up op shops and milk bars, abducted nudists and delinquents, pelted eggs at men and attacked women with salad tongs. Their existence baffled the police and their peculiar and indecent crimes slowly gave them cult status, where they became notoriously known as the legendary “Belgrave Bandits”.

“I hate reducing plots to a pitch, but there is no better way I can think of to describe this other than to compare it to a punked out version of u0026quot;Doctor Whou0026quot;. Tim Burns and Maxine Klibingaitis play a homeless couple who inexplicably survive through the means of intimidation and theft as they wander about Australia. The wide-eyed innocence and overall joy that Tim Burns displays was captivating. The large cast of people crossing their paths are all well drawn and portrayed. The script is filled with gems! So much so, that as I was watching and trying to make a mental note as each clever line went past me, I overloaded and canu0026#39;t seem to quote one now. The scriptu0026#39;s humor and philosophy are nearly overwhelming. Apparently, this is a prequel to a film called u0026quot;Nancy, Nancyu0026quot;, which I will promptly hunt down!”
