Swinging Safari

2018 · 97 min

A bawdy, sunburnt nostalgia trip that plays like a naughty home movie, all bad perms and worse decisions.

Tagline: Staying alive was harder than you think.
Overview: 1975: A 200-ton blue whale gets washed up on a local beach and the kids think it’s the biggest thing that’s ever happened in Australia. Behind closed doors, the Mums and Dads of a quiet suburban street are going to celebrate in their own special way, by joining the sexual revolution and throwing a wife-swapping key party. And like the rotting whale, it’s all about to go spectacularly wrong.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, campy and warm. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Sexuality, family, coming-of-age, class
Content: Strong sexual content and language. Mild violence and gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
