Keep an eye on your wallet and the other eye on the background. Pickpockets, a new Australian crime caper romcom from Lane Cove filmmaker D.C. Fairhurst, is out in cinemas now. A big sequence was shot around Lane Cove and Waverton. You may have already spotted the posters around town.
Fairhurst plays Jesse, a lone-wolf pickpocket whose patch is threatened by a charming rookie called Robin, played by Lucy Green. Their flirty rivalry turns into a turf war. Then the score of a lifetime forces them to team up. Tim Minchin, Zoe Terakes and Darren Gilshenan are also in the cast.
The film grew out of Fairhurst and Green’s award-winning short This Town Ain’t Big Enough for the Both of Us. It’s rated M and runs 110 minutes.
The closest stop on the national Q&A tour is the Hayden Orpheum in Cremorne this Wednesday 11 November at 7pm, with a cast and crew Q&A after the screening.
