when anik chooney (aka. marty denniss) first met alan white all he had of erskineville kings was a single scene written for a theatrical stage performance. erskineville kings was anik chooneys first feature film script and it took him 3 years to develop and write .
erskineville kings sets out to explore the reality that the australian male is portrayed as being emotionally removed, uncommunicative, tough and withdrawn. erskineville kings is therefore an attempt by alan white to
find a communication that goes beyond the impassivity and cynicism of the typical aussie male

one of the web pages devoted to hugh jackman revealed an interviews and article link. this link however contained no articles or interviews that talked about his role and performance in erskineville kings. the articles in this link recognised more his roles in paperback hero (which seems to have had greater success than erskineville kings), and the musicals oklahoma, sunset boulevard and beauty and the beast. this can only be explained due to the fact that these articles were published well before erskineville kings release .
the other review was located on the movie show web page and was compiled by both margaret pomeranz and david stratton, each rating erskineville kings and commenting on the film .
though made on a low budget of about a $ 500, 000 ($ 326, 000), and entirely unsupported byusual government funding bodies, “erskineville kings” is technically impressive on every level .
below, you’ll find a number of top - tier streaming and cable services - including rental, purchase, and subscription alternatives - along with the availability of' erskineville kings' on each platform. now, before we get into the various whats and wheres of how you can watch' erskineville kings' right now, here are some finer points about the @ radical media inc. drama flick .
it was jackman' s first movie role, completed just before he began work on paperback hero (pic). (but as it sometimes happens, the latter was released before erskineville kings. )
erskineville kings had a budget of a half a million dollars and was unsupported by any of the government funding bodies. despite these restrictions of particularly strained circumstances, erskineville kings proved to be quite an achievement. an achievement that anik chooney said could not have been possible without
a mixture of admiration for peoples acting ability, plus a network of common thinking people who really wanted to make a film together .

apart from the reviews and interviews i found published before and around erskineville kings date of release in the various magazines and on - line sites, the rest of what was retrieved heralding the success and uptake of the film seemed minimal .
the only other additional information i found published around the time of erskineville kings release was in quite a different form. i came across an advertisement for fuji film (which erskineville kings was shot using) also printed in an issue of encore. once again david stratton described erskineville kings as being
one of the most strikingly photographed australian films in a long time .
( encore, vol. 17 issue 19, oct. 8 th 1999, pp. 9) as none of the web pages or magazines provided me with box office figures i cannot therefore rely on them to assess the success or uptake of the film. i searched through the lists in the box office tables (mainly sept. and oct. issues) or the rental tables (feb. and march issues) around the time of erskineville kings release and found those figures to not be listed either. the only other australian film that appeared to be successful at the time was
two hands
.
erskineville kings is an ironic title for a drama about two brothers trying to face their family demons within their respective male psyches; writer / director alan white and co - star hugh jackman talk to andrew l. urban on a footpath in noosa .
firstly, the international movie database web page contained a useful segment encouraging users to the page to comment and review the film. one user known as edgarb from sydney quite freely expressed his opinions about the film erskineville kings. other users were encouraged to follow suit .
digital tv upgrades, antenna installations, antenna servicing, diagnoses of reception issues and satellite dish supply and install are our specialty in erskineville .
under the same segment the international movie database also provided a link to another website called filmink. this site contained reviews that have been written for the magazine. the particular review for erskineville kings was published on 20 / 09 / 99, which is only just prior to the films release .
jim’s antennas has been servicing erskineville for over 10 years, providing quality antenna installation and repair services for audio - visual transmission devices and accessories .
erskineville kings has all of the ingredients to be a cool australian film and a worthy deep - cut of classic australian cinema, and functions well as a tribute to the inner west of sydney and all troubled bromances, but it never really escapes a sense of tired theatricality and contrived set - up .

white, a los angeles based australian, is a deft hand at making tv commercials .
i went to los angeles ,
he explains ,
because an american production company offered to finance erskineville kings if i went there and directed tv commercials for them. it was part of the contrcat .
erskineville kings is
hard hitting, yet surprisingly subtle, alan white’s debut feature is a moody film with undercurrent to burn. it is beautifully shot with lingering glimpses of the street, the train station, the shop fronts, all setting the scene of suburban erskineville ,
says one of our critics, louise keller. a working class inner city suburb of sydney, erskineville plays an important element in the film, giving the characters both cultural and physical context; cultural specificity, as does notting hill in the film, coronation street in the old soap, or alice springs in a town like alice, among many examples .
jim’s antennas erskineville has a dedicated team of experienced commercial technicians who specialise in matv, smatv, multi switch and head end systems for residential and commercial multi dwellings .
for me ,
says white ,
risk represents being seen as a legitimate film director. it was always difficult to overcome the stigma that as a tv ad director i can direct action but can' t tell stories... that' s the mistaken view of tv commercial directors .
clearly, erskineville kings helped his reputation no end .
erskineville kings was a first feature for most of those who made it, and it was generally well received. alan white, the director, had been a musician who graduated from music videos to directing commercials, and there are signs of those origins in the film’s extensive use of music, and the way white constructs a sense of locale. the landscape of the inner - city around erskineville and newtown becomes a significant part of the film’s texture. these are streets full of rusty history, and the film is about all the difficult history between the brothers .
its success is surprising considering it is alan whites debut attempt at producing a feature film. erskineville kings can definitely be described as an attempt by alan white to avoid the stereotypes more commonly presented by australian cinema and create an honest interpretation of australian urban life. he achieves this by delving behind the picture postcard facades to reveal the more everyday, old and worn aspects of urban sydney .
i was successful in finding two web pages devoted to lead actor in erskineville kings, hugh jackman. both sites only provided me with limited information about the release dates for the film and the size of its budget. the majority of the pages were devoted to a biography of his prior involvements in the entertainment industry, with significant focus placed on his previous roles in musicals and broadway productions .
on a more professional basis, the database showed a segment titled
external reviews
. once i had clicked on this i was able to access an article that had been written by david stratton reviewing erskineville kings in the australian. unfortunately the page displayed no date or year of publication in the newspaper so i cant provide a reference, but i am assuming it was either just prior to its release or shortly after .
well inside the top half of suburbs in the west for its overall liveability score, kings langley’s strongest results are for telecommunications coverage and shopping. it is average for culture, proximity to employment hubs, cafes and restaurants .
the encore magazines provided me with slightly more information about the success and uptake of the film. erskineville kings was mentioned briefly and photos of the stars appeared under the headline
oz triumphs at noosa film festival
. no comments in regard to the films success at the festival were actually contained in the rest of the written text for the article. (encore, vol. 17 issue 18 sept. 24, 1999 pp. 6 )
australian cinema is also well known for its larger than life characters found in the productions of such films as crocodile dundee and priscilla. director alan white was tiring of the jokes centred around the production of such films containing these characters that display such
down under quirkiness
. alan white understood that people are a lot more interested in contemporary australian films that seek to tell the truth about life in australia, and in understanding that, made erskineville kings .
it' s a sunny sunday morning in noosa, and there is more than the usual street traffic in the queensland resort as the inaugural noosa film festival starts its fourth day. at the five screen cinema in sunshine beach road, the competition screening of erskineville kings has just begun. writer / director alan white and star hugh jackman have introduced the film and are now sitting in the cinema café at an outside table, doing the publicity work. and loving it .
kings park is around the middle of the pack for liveability in the west, with strong results for telecommunications coverage, shopping and eating out. it is marked as average for culture, proximity to employment hubs, tree cover, topographic variation, buses and trains .
whether you have moved into a new residence in erskineville or wish to upgrade your existing aerial or antenna, we can advise you on the different types of antennas, components and installation methods that would suit all areas and every type of home or building .
unfortunately, the theatricality of this film, and its contrived layout of character tropes, is the achilles heel. i never really believed the character interactions here. whilst they are familiar, with the director / screenwriter keenly observing many aspects of 20s life, the screenplay (written by marty denniss, who also plays the main character barky) felt rather tired. in erskineville kings, the wake of a father' s death forces two estranged brothers to meet again, and inevitably the deep - seated family issues clearly rattling around their heads slowly but surely come to the fore .
in the great australian tradition of all the rivers run, based on max fatchen' s novels the river kings and conquest of the river, this four - part miniseries captures the perilous life along south australia' s murray river and the many adventures aboard the paddleboat steamer lazy jane during the 1920s. with his…
if it’s culture, cafes, shops, harbour views, public transport or education you’re after, potts point is the place to be. serviced by kings cross train station, the suburb is ultra - liveable according to all measures on the study except tree cover, crime, open spaces and main road congestion .
white is looking forward to making risk ;
if i succeed with it, i' ll get under the skin of big business as erskineville kings gets under the skin of young guys growing up in a big city .
as we finish our coffee, white admits he is hoping to secure jackman for the co - starring role in risk, and the deal is subject only to jackman' s schedule .
i see bryan brown as australia' s john travolta - and both he and hugh are like the everyman of their respective generations, and the everyman of each generation has something to say to everybody .
we offer a no obligaton free quote; and carry a range of digital tv antennas to make sure we only install the best one specifically suited to the erskineville specific location, topography and signal strength. as australia’s largest antenna installation service, jim’s antennas only use industry leading digital antennas backed by a 3 year guaranteed; and jim’s famous 100% satisfaction guarantee .
just inside the top 10 for liveability in the inner west, erskineville gets top marks for culture, proximity to employment hubs, shops, eating out and rail access. well played, too, for telecommunications coverage and education. its not - so - great aspects? there’s not much tree cover, the main roads get busy and the crime rate could be lower .
stayed here for one night over a weekend. it' s about a 10 minute walk from the kings cross station (downhill on the way there but uphill coming back). my flight arrived at 9. 00 in the morning but when i went to check in, they made a room available for me immediately which was fantastic. the room was spotlessly clean, it was modern and i didn' t notice any surrounding noise from other rooms or outside. the only minor glitch was on the day i checked out, the elevators weren' t working which meant a walk down the stairs from the 6th floor, where i was staying. that aside, i was happy with my stay, it was cheaper than most options closer to the cbd and i' ll certainly consider it on a return trip to sydney. also there are loads of cafes and eateries close to kings cross as well as a coles supermarket adjacent to the station .
the only reservation came from jackman' s agent: she worried it may turn out to be' angry young aussie blokes at the pub' and damage jackman' s image as a romantic lead, based on his stage work in musicals like oklahoma and sunset boulevard .
but being in a pub in erskineville ,
says alan white, jabbing a metaphorical finger in our chest ,
doesn' t mean you' re a fool ...
his first film explores the contemporary young australian male psyche - with restrained drama and subtle shading. barky (marty denniss) returns home to the sydney suburb of erskineville for his father’s funeral, after escaping two years previously from his drunken abuse. he had left behind his girlfriend lanny (marin mimica), his friends and his brother wace (hugh jackman). although his father is no longer alive, the grievances and baggage that barky and wace harbour from their torn household are .
barky, a lost soul of 25, returns from the australian cane fields to his hometown of erskineville. barky left two years ago to escape his drunken and abusive father, leaving behind everything in the world that was important to him. now that his father’s dead, he thinks it’s safe to come home, but barky soon discovers that if staying home was hard, coming home is harder. with everything on the line will barky choose again to leave it all behind? director: alan white starring: hugh jackman writer: marty denniss
we stayed for 2 nights. the location is great. close to kings cross station. next to the park at rushcutters bay. an easy walk to the trains, busses and restaurants and even the museums and city. the room was neat and clean. the shower was warm and the service good. they have a very nice restaurant and bar at ground level. on the roof the swimming pool as gym has a stunning view of the bay and yacht club. it is a great place to stay if you visit sydney for a few days. the room price is very reasonable .
barky (marty denniss) returns to sydney for his father’s funeral. he has been away in queensland for more than two years while his older brother wace (hugh jackman) took care of their father after a stroke. the brothers are not close and the absence has made wace even more bitter. as they drink with their friends at a pub in erskineville, an inner - city suburb of sydney, the family history comes to a boil. barky walks out, trying to avoid a fight. his one - time girlfriend lanny (leah vandenberg) sends him back to face his brother, and his own demons .

one of the most striking elements of the film is first - time d. p. john swaffield’s remarkable lensing, and the choice of locations in the grimy inner suburbs of sydney at the height of summer. shot after shot is worthy of framing, as swaffield’s beautifully composed images reveal decaying buildings, tattered posters, ancient graffiti (“go home hippies! ”) and narrow, mean, deserted streets on a very hot, still day. these run - down shops, bars and houses are a world away from the attractive harbor and downtown district of sydney, although just as real .
twenty - five - year - old barky (scripter chooney, using the pseudonym marty denniss) arrives at the city’s central rail station early one morning on a summer weekend. he’s been away for two years working in the cane fields up north and seems to be a bit of a lost soul. we soon learn that he left the family home to escape his drunken and abusive father, and has returned for dad’s funeral. but first he wants to meet with his brother, wace (hugh jackman), with whom he had a falling out when he left .
as he comes across various friends, including ex - girlfriend lanny (leah vandenberg), barky reveals more and more about himself and the oppressive world he left behind. but this is no prodigal son returning in triumph; if anything, barky seems to have less now than he did when he went away .
the film is composed of apparently aimless conversations and encounters, all of which add to the viewer’s knowledge about barky. some may find the pacing extremely slow; director white, working from a wordy screenplay, is in no hurry to cut to the chase — something which, in any case, proves to be nonexistent .
there’s a generally strong ensemble cast of little - known actors, with the film’s only “name” actor, jackman, making quite an impact as the bitter wace. denniss successfully connects with the tenuousness of barky’s character, and vandenberg is extremely sympathetic as the self - possessed lanny .

the basic theme of this gritty urban drama — the reunion of long - separated siblings because a parent is mortally ill or has died — has become a tired cliche in australian cinema, but alan white’s striking debut feature manages to breathe fresh life into the material thanks to extremely fine camerawork and strong ensemble performances.

moving story, well performed, particularly by jackman. brought me to tears which is quite the feat. script reads almost like an indie play with the close up brooding raw emotion and long slow buildup which was a little hard to get through and why i am dropping a star. the lead is a little flat as well - though that is part if the character profile. all and all an interesting and deeply moving little 90' s aussie film and a must see as jackman' s first movie and breakthrough role if you are a fan .
being a big fan of his and having met him on several occasions, i wanted to have all of his movies in a collection. this is a good one .
one of the first big - screen movies of hugh jackman... written for someone else, (marty deniss who plays barky), this movie is totally full of hugh' s moving sadness and anger. he is supposed to play one of the secondary parts, the heroe' s brother, but he can' t help catching your eye, your heart, your full attention. they all look so colourless as soon as wace shows up... good story anyway, not for the youngest ones because of themes like abusing parents, drug use, etc... but definitly worth your money, and a
must - have
for all hugh lovers !
moving portrait of sibling rivalry, beautifully photographed. hugh jackman' s performance is compelling. interesting insight into australian male pub culture. doesn' t play by the numbers, you have to hang in there to get the full reward .
a very sense of a family story has been lost in swearing the characters instantly used to in between urinating and kicking at a toilet while a junior brother returned home after his dad passing away - to get his piece of assets, or? a work is good for improving the aussie accent mostly .
it' s strange that this movie is incredibly underrated and people
just
rate it with 3 stars. i' ve watched it 3x in 2 days. what can i say, this only happens with good movies. they capable to draw you in and keep you interested every second. very slow paced but full of tension. and all actors are brilliant. not only hugh jackman. the way the movie is shot is like watching art. moreover the score by don miller - robinson is brillliant and haunting, and as good as scores by ennio morricone and ry cooder. all in all a movie to have in your collection .
sad man, sad town, seeking friends and family, relooking and rethinking old memories and relationships. powerful portrait of the brother played by hugh jackman .

on a larger canvas, it’s a film about australian men in general – particularly the ways in which they choose to express emotions (or to keep them hidden). the script is credited to anik chooney, a pseudonym for marty denniss, who plays barky. this was hugh jackman’s first film role, and he was cast even before he had established himself as a star of musical theatre. it was shot before paperback hero, but released afterwards. both he and marty dennis give fine performances in difficult roles .
the film remains slightly underdeveloped as a drama, but it’s about something interesting – the great silent rage of the aussie male. you can’t see round corners, made 30 years earlier, is about similar questions, and is set in virtually the same working class streets and pubs. alan white has said he wanted to make a film that avoided broad caricatures and ‘shrimp on the barbie’ clichés. ‘i wanted to explore the idea that you can be a tough australian character but you can recognise in yourself a pain, and you can ultimately come to terms with it’ .

barky (marty denniss) and his two friends wayne (joel edgerton) and kane (marin mimica) arrive at coppa’s place looking for barky’s brother wace. trunny (aaron blabey) banters affectionately with barky; coppa (andrew wholley) is also glad to see him, but wace (hugh jackman) is far less welcoming .
the film is a sort of compendium of the ways in which australian men fail to communicate, and this scene offers a range of techniques, from trunny’s ‘bash ‘em and kiss ‘em’ style, to coppa’s ‘tough and cool’, to wace’s downright hostile greeting of his brother, whom he hasn’t seen in over two years. the use of swearing in the film becomes a part of the emotional smokescreen. we don’t know much about any of these men at this stage, but the look wace gives his brother when he stands in front of the drums, and the way that barky looks out the window at this point tells us a lot about their fractured relationship .

cast & crew do a sterling job at communicating a life' s brotherly relationship through these brief glimpses, as wace first awkwardly communicates to barky (who he hasn' t seen for a few years) through his friends, then puts down anything barky has to say, before finally opening up to his brother, scar tissue and all. i definitely got affliction and rumble fish feels from this brother relationship, whether it is a family history of violence, the undying fallout of an absent mother who never looked back, estranged brothers, suffocating urban environments and / or the interaction of innocence and world weariness. the film is most authentic when concerning the interaction of brothers, and mines a lot of its truths out of this, often with a uniqueness which threatens to make this an essential sub - genre film .

louise and mark are locked in a bunker. we are not quite sure how they got there, but we know that it is the male of the pair who is calling the shots. it could be the apocalypse, and the end of the world is a complex matter for those who survive. dennis kelly’s
is a quirky, but dark, story about the atrocities that happen in a world where nobody thinks that they’re the bad guy .
although its contexts are dramatic, its plot is simple and unfortunately, a predictable one. there is discernible concerted effort put into creating tension for the staging, but only its later sequences are able to captivate, and when we do become engaged, it is the portrayal of violence that draws us in, rather than inherent ideas that can seem superficial, with insufficient provocative power. some of the play’s mysteries could be more effectively manipulated, but both performers (josh brennan and grace victoria) are remarkably focused, well - rehearsed and enthusiastically present .
in after the end, a woman is made victim when she finds herself waking up in an environment completely controlled by a man. unable to negotiate a renewal of circumstances that will provide a level playing field, louise is forced into combat for the top dog position, squarely on mark’s terms. determined for his desires to dominate their microcosm, mark’s impositions are a representation of the obstacles that feminists are up against, and reason for the deterioration of advancements that had been made. it is a pessimistic view that the play proffers, but an accurate depiction of a state of affairs where everybody loses, if we perpetuate that status quo .
