About this Event

Welcome to The Sentimental Bloke!

The Sentimental Bloke is considered a highlight of Australian silent film-making. Unlike typical silent films, its actors display less exaggerated performances, while the intertitles feature Dennis's Australian slang, capturing the protagonist's voice. For instance, when Bill, a self-proclaimed crook, is imprisoned for playing two-up, an intertitle reflects his perspective. The film is both warm-hearted and timeless.
