The Three Wise Men

A riotous blend of whimsy and farce.
5/5

Review

Kirk Mihelakos’ short film ‘The Three Wise Men’ is a rollicking, laugh-out-loud farce that showcases Australian comedy at its finest. The film follows the bumbling trio of Goldie (Luca Simpfendorfer), Frankie (Francois Theurel), and the hilariously eccentric Murv (Alexander Lloyd) as their attempt to kidnap a man goes delightfully awry. The chemistry between these three is electric, each character bringing their own flavor to the frenzied mix, but it’s Murv’s KFC bucket “balaclava” that truly steals the show.

Mihelakos crafts a farce that’s both well-written and irresistibly funny. Murv’s antics, filled with whimsical stupidity, drive the plot into a series of increasingly outrageous scenarios. His role is a masterclass in physical comedy, with his antics providing non-stop laughter throughout the film. The highlight, of course, is his unforgettable disguise, which adds an extra layer of absurdity and charm to the proceedings.

The film’s technicality is equally impressive. The cinematography is sharp and vibrant, capturing the film’s energetic pace with precision. The sound design and production values are spot-on, creating a polished, professional look that complements the film’s playful spirit.

What distinguishes The Three Wise Men’ is its fearless humor and the twist ending that leaves you cheering for more. This short film is a credit to the brilliance of its cast and crew, delivering a comedy experience that is both captivating and endlessly entertaining. Bravo to Mihelakos and his team for such a memorable, laugh-out-loud creation!
