The Luna Outdoor kicks off with THE FOX, the absurdly funny, award-winning Australian comedy from director Dario Russo. Join us for music by DJ Bexx, Siena's pizza, Grill'd mini-sliders and Lima Cantina empanadas. There'll also be tastings from Idle Hands Drinks Co. and Frudi, so come early, grab a bite and settle in for a little cinematic mischief. All food and drink offerings available while stocks last!

Nick (JAI COURTNEY), affable heir to a wealthy rural landowner, discovers his fiancée, Kori (EMILY BROWNING), is cheating on him and wants nothing more than to just fix the problem. One night, he captures a rogue Fox (OLIVIA COLMAN), and she offers him a trade-off: if Nick lets her live, the Fox will help him save his relationship.

All he has to do is push Kori into a magic hole with the power to change her into the perfect partner. Nick follows the Fox’s advice and the Kori who re-emerges seems to be everything he ever wanted. Until her strange new quirks make him question his decision.

Featuring an all-star cast headed by Jai Courtney and Emily Browning, including Damon Herriman and Miranda Otto, and with the voices of Olivia Colman and Sam Neill.

Screening at Luna Leederville and Luna on SX from November 26.
Screening in the Luna Outdoor November 26 (Opening Night) and November 28.

Reviews

A shrewdly conceived and meticulously plotted black comedy... [Russo] shows a strong handle over the film’s fanciful tone and fitfully filthy sense of humor.

Variety

It’s inventive in its savagery, almost always perturbing, but succeeds at the kind of absurd genre blend that made Yorgos Lanthimos a household name.

RogerEbert.com

An absurdly funny, unforgettable fairytale farce.

Inverse

The Fox is weird as fuck, and proudly so. Jai Courtney is incredible in the lead... Bless Dario Russo for putting together a project where all of these actors get a chance to really gnaw on the scenery.
