Synopsis
The Castle (1997) is an Australian comedy-drama directed by Rob Sitch — watch online on iFILM. The Kerrigans live in a homemade house right on the fence line of Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport, and they think it is paradise. When the government moves to compulsorily acquire the land for an airport expansion, Darryl Kerrigan takes them to court. With a no-hoper solicitor and zero legal precedent on his side.
Michael Caton plays Darryl with such straight-faced conviction that the film's warmth never tips into mockery. A very young Eric Bana appears in a small role. Shot in twelve days on a tight budget, the film became one of Australia's best-loved comedies and turned a tidy profit several times over. It is really a film about what makes a home a home — and why that matters more than real estate law. Stream The Castle (1997) online on iFILM.
