West Of Sunshine DVD

 

 


Separated from his family and caught in a cycle of gambling and debt, Jim (Damian Hill, Pawno) has less than a day to repay a violent loan shark. His day is turned upside down when he must look after his young son, Alex (Ty Perham), who is on school holidays.Jim's relationship with his son is tested as his plans to pay back the loan shark fail. When his last desperate effort to repay the debt puts his son's life at risk, he must make a choice between his past and a second chance at life. Also featuring Kat Stewart (Underbelly, Offspring), West of Sunshine's rough, down-at-heel Aussie vibe prompts one to set it alongside other recent bawlers and brawlers, such as Kriv Stenders' Boxing Day or David Michod's Animal Kingdom. (The Guardian).

PRODUCT REVIEWS

A father named Jim (played by Damian Hill), is in debt to a powerful man. This powerful man threatens Damian with consequences if the end does not make the payment at the end of the day. On the same day, it’s Jim’s turn to look after his young son and must go to work as a local courier driver. From the film's opening, we discover that Jim can’t seem to catch a break. To make matters worse, he makes an inferior decision and turns to gamble to get out of his debt. Sadly gambling only digs Jim further into debt and adds more problems to his life. The pressure is now on Jim, and while this film focuses on one day of Jim’s life, the question is can Jim get out of all his problems? While the film’s setting is based all in one day, it tells its story at a quick pace. It gets straight to the point and doesn’t get bothered with other plot details or give the audience many side characters. The key focus here is clearly on Jim as he deals with his struggles and the pressure which have come from making bad life choices. I also personally enjoyed the added concept of fatherhood that was explored here. While the story of a man having to repay money to a powerful person isn’t new, the film gets a little creative with its overall tone and filming style, especially visually. It’s also quite clear that this film has been entirely filmed within the city and streets of Australia. Overall, there are many aspects to enjoy about this Australian film. It’s a short, quick film that keeps on point without any significant problems. Sure, the plot isn’t anything new, but it is still highly pleasing with its performances, particularly from Damian Hill; thankfully, there is a freshness here the way the story is told is extremly enjoyable. * This review has been written for Sanity.
