When Nino Culotta arrives in Sydney from Italy, he finds his job as a sports reporter has fallen through. He finds work as a labourer and must learn how to fit in with Aussie ways.
This surprise box-office smash, based on the best-selling novel by John O’Grady, looks at the migrant experience, in sometimes-cringey 1960’s style, with plenty of fun poked at Australian culture.
‘They’re a Weird Mob holds up surprising well as an entertaining time capsule and a compilation of many things that haven’t changed – from small gestures like returning shouts of beer at a bar to ongoing city rivalry between Melbourne and Sydney.’ – The Guardian
Presented on 35mm film prints from the NFSA collection.
