Film Overview

A punchy Australian import with attitude, NIRVANA STREET MURDER has been compared with Martin Scorsese's MEAN STREETS for its restless energy and impact. The careening plot follows two brothers on the seamy side of Melbourne society. One's a petty criminal and somnambulist(!); the other's an honest bloke who struggles to keep them both inside the law. In the end it's love that brings the pair down. Funny, shocking, and wonderfully alive, NIRVANA STREET MURDER is a remarkably assured first feature from writer/director/editor Aleksi Vellis. And read that opening disclaimer closely.
