The red carpet and film premiere event on December 14 at Village Rivoli Cinemas Camberwell was a very bus event, perhaps it was the busiest I have seen in the last years of media coverage work. We arrived half an hour before the doors opened and the section of Rivoli Theater floors was separated from the common area of the cinema. We were directed to the very end of the longest queue that went for around 200 meters from the major entrance only to discover that our VIP passes allowed us to get through with no standing in queue whatsoever; As we got inside we were surrounded by hundreds of paparazzis with flashing cameras and notebooks. It seemed like we were attending the arrival of Kylie Minogue herself. Oh, yes, we actually were. It was quite noisy too and the backdrop right opposite the entrance was occupied even more. We went upstairs where the champagne was served and we rushed to get our best seats in town. We had a chance to chat with the guests and they were all very excited about Kylie Minogue in the first place but so many celebrities that came together with her just so we could meet and greet them... oh yes, and of course to open the premiere with the sweetest appearance on the stage.
Kylie was surrounded by the actors who were part of the film including Guy Pearce and Stephan Elliot himself. Kylie was signing her posters
The event was remarkable so was the film and it was the first public appearance of our Magazine and Club Ambassador Jennifer Zaman that was gorgeously dressed in the dark pink outfit.
The film was received quite warmly. Please read Bryannaa's review on this page bellow.

The premiere of the Australian movie "The Swinging Safari" was a red carpet event graced by the main cast and Director of the movie. Hundreds of fans lined up for the show to have a glance at the stars and waited with excitement for Kylie Minogue, Guy Pearse, Radha Mitchell and the rest of the cast. Huge media coverage was given to the event and every guest was welcomed with a sparkling glass of champagne.
Right before the movie began, the writer and Director of this comedy flick Stephan Elliott introduced the stars present and gave a gist of the movie and the story behind it. It was a wonderful feeling watching the movie along with the actors and one could hear loud laughters and whistles across the theatre through out the movie.

REVIEW: Swinging Safari
By Bryanna Reynolds
In this laugh out loud comedy starring Kylie Minogue, Guy Pearce, Radha Mitchell, Asher Keddie and Julian Mcmahon this new Australian comedy is one not to be missed. It is bound to have you laughing at the most inappropriate times and wishing you experienced the 70’s.
When a whale washes up on a Queensland beach it is one of the most amazing things the town has ever seen. There on pursues an onslaught of comedy juxtaposing the life of a beached whale to the tragic and hilarious lives of three families living in an Australian suburb in the 70’s.
Swinging Safari is a true Australian comedy in the sense it makes many cultural references to trends and cultural norms of that era. When three families decide one night that they are going to have a good old swinging party it is the catalyst breaking point for all mayhem to ensue.
The film is the genius work of writer and director Stephan Elliott who first rose to critical acclaim with the film ‘The Adventure of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’ in 1994. Much of Elliott’s brilliance is evident throughout the film with similarities to off limit humour and australian slang. Elliott also makes two cameo appearance in the film as the local constable and a news reporter. Bohemian Rhapsody were also lucky enough to have a chat with him on the red carpet prior to viewing the film, the video is available on our Youtube channel.
If you are wanting to watch the film to see the Kylie Minogue you know so well, think again. Minogue absolutely blows you away with her uptight character who sees the absurdity of so many situations but at the same time is a raging alcoholic. It must be seen to be believed and ever in Minogue’s grace she brings the character to life through fruition after refusing to partake in the swinging session. Kylie is a true trooper and simply brings the film a raunch of hilarity.
The stellar cast work swimmingly together and it is a match made in heaven in the reigniting of Guy Pearce and Kylie Minogue in a relationship as husband and wife. Equally the other families are cast so wonderfully that one would think they were actually all family. Cheers to the casting director and the scripting by Stephan Elliott.
It isn't just Minogue’s character that completes a 360 revolution, the whole film is a coming of age story through the children of the three swinging families and the town as a whole.
The lesson taken from the film is a true representation of friendship and the spirit of the swinging 70’s when everything seemed to be much more relaxed in multiple ways. It is as much inspirational as it is comedic.
If you are a killer for 70’s soundtrack music then this film has you covered! It will not disappoint and make sure you stick around for the end credits, the music keeps on rolling.
The breakout stars of the film would have to be Darcey Wilson a young troubled girl who sees the distress and heartache behind the whal choosing to beach itself and Atticus Robb. To me it seemed Atticus Robb was a representation of the childhood of director Stephan Elliott. Throughout Swinging Safari the character of Atticus is filming stunts with his friends and creating mini movies. It is a lovely narrative addition to the actual film because it serves as a mini sub plot of a film within the film.
I would recommend this film for anyone who adores Australian humour. I would caution though that this is a comedy not intended to disrespect or harm anyone because the film does not hold back on political correctness and is true to the time and era of the 70’s. Growing up in Australia I am very accustomed to the comedy of the film and I think you simply have to set aside any notion of political correctness and view this film as a true perception of life in the 70’s as if you were actually living it.
Make sure to see Swingin Safari when released in cinemas January 18th, 2018.

Film Review: ‘Swinging Safari’
By Maxwell Lyons
Genre: Comedy. Rating: M. Running time: 97 minutes
Starring: Guy Pearce, Kylie Minogue, Radha Mitchell, Julian McMahon, Asher Keddie, Jeremy Sims
From the director of Australian cult-classic “The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert”, Stephan Elliott continues his heartfelt mockery of Australian culture in his new comedy Swinging Safari. Set in 1970s suburban Australia, the movie follows the story of three families in the midst of a heated summer of childish antics, sexual promiscuity, and the abyss of uncertainty that is coming of age. Unfortunately, it is this narrative diversity that hinders the movie – it spreads its focus too wide. As a result characters are underdeveloped and events aren’t contextualised, and so there’s just not a whole lot going on under the surface. In saying that, however, enjoyment can still be had, just as long as you can selectively overlook a few key narrative oversights.
Firstly, with the likes of Guy Pearce and Kylie Minogue, the quality of acting throughout was more than adequate, but there really wasn’t an opportunity for anyone to develop their character’s personality beyond the caricature of their portrayal. Moreover, the storylines of each character quickly became muddled and lost in the intertwine that they created, hindered further by the film’s misguided focus on timepiece aesthetics at the expense of maintaining narrative/thematic focus. What’s left is a movie that foregoes intimacy and complexity, instead relying on sight gags, cultural-centric jokes, and clique parody elements. Sure it’s funny, but this humour is derived more from the performances than the actual material.
Common among most Australian-made film releases, it seems unlikely Swinging Safari will break any significant records nor leave its mark on the international scene. But what it lacks in worldwide appeal it makes up for in its oddly endearing mockery of classic Australian culture. Flawed it may be, Swinging Safari offers a feel-good comedy with a consistent flow of entertainment and laughter for all generations, albeit very surface level enjoyment. Its strong reliance on Australian-centric ideations is likely to limit its international appeal, but as an Australian movie made for Australian people, it’s worth checking out if only to learn/reminisce on the most shamelessly tawdry decade of our recent history.
Swinging Safari will be released in cinemas Australia-wide on January 18, 2018.
