  Muriel’s Wedding & Dogs in Space

  For its 50th year, the Paramount Summer Classic Film Series partnered with AFS Cinema for a pair of double features, as Austin Film Society screened films at Paramount before opening their own theatre – which this year is a Best of Austin Readers Poll winner. For this pairing we have two Australian gems, both edited by one of the world’s finest, Jill Bilcock, who got an Oscar nod for Moulin Rouge! For rom-com Muriel’s Wedding (1994), Bilcock’s handiwork turned Toni Collette’s Muriel from awful to awful but likable, and for 1986 cult classic Dogs in Space it captured a grimy post-punk aesthetic matched by the music of INXS’s Michael Hutchence, also starring in the film. – Kat McNevins
