I've Come About The Suicide

About This Movie

I've Come About The Suicide is this quirky Australian TV-movie that blends comedy with a rather absurd premise. The tone is lighthearted, but there's an underlying depth that pokes fun at societal norms and personal dilemmas. The pacing is a bit uneven, which actually adds to its charm, making some moments feel spontaneous and authentic. Practical effects are minimal but effective, serving the story rather than overshadowing it. The performances convey a certain rawness, as the actors navigate the comedic yet poignant themes of life and desperation. It’s distinctive in its approach to humor, not always landing where you expect but often surprising you instead.

This film, also known as Pigs Will Fly, has somewhat of a cult status among collectors, primarily due to its rarity and off-beat humor. It's mainly circulated in VHS format, as it never received a wide release on DVD or Blu-ray, which makes original tapes sought after by niche collectors. Interest has been growing, especially as more viewers discover Australian cinema's unique quirks from this era.
