Starring John Hargreaves and Peter Cummins as good and bad cops who assist a battered wife (Jacki Weaver) as she tries to escape her belligerent husband.
The film sees David Williamson continue his dissection of Australian sexual politics by exploring issues of female empowerment versus male violence and sexual intimidation as a beaten housewife tries to retrieve her possessions from a threatening husband, but gets little help from a chauvinistic policeman.
Comic relief comes in the form of the whingeing, bludging Cockney removalist Chris Haywood, who only wants to finish the job and get paid for his services.Performed by a faultless ensemble cast, The Removalists is a powerhouse presentation and a gripping look at suburban Australian life.
