WAH WAH

The directorial debut for Richard E. Grant (Gosford Park, The Age Of Innocence), Wah-Wah was a surprise Australian cinematic hit, grossing over $2,250,000 and pulling in more at the Australian box office than in the US or the UK. Possessing the rare combination of art-house credibility with mainstream aesthetics and appeal, Wah-Wah is a film proven to appeal to audiences from all walks of life.Visually the film is stunning, bright and poignant it tells the semi-autobiographical tale of the often tested, equally unbroken bond of love and family. Not only is the film a directorial debut, but also a location debut, being the first film ever to be shot in the Kingdom of Swaziland, it depicts the landscape with breathtaking ease yet manages to avoid making these vast, sprawling shots the focus of the film. After all, this is a film about family, love and life. There are allegorical connections to the end of British rule in the region for the more discerning viewer, but for those just looking for a good story told and presented undeniably well, Wah-Wah is their film. The stunning cast featuring Gabriel Byrne, Emily Watson, Miranda Richardson, Julie Walters and Nicholas Hoult only add to this film's mass appeal.The film and subsequent DVD release come on the back of a highly successful publicity tour of Australia including high profile interviews on Andrew Denton's Enough Rope, Rove, Triple J Breakfast, Nova Breakfast with Hughesy, Kate and Dave, The Sunday Age and all metropolitan street press nationally. Grant charmed audiences nationwide with his charismatic and endearing personality, a fact which is sure to be reflected in Australian sales of this title.
