The editor’s desk

This time last year, Melbourne was still deep in COVID restrictions. It’s true. I had to really think about it when it was pointed out to me that the AFL grand final wasn’t played here last year, but in Perth. It all flooded back – my friends in the west crammed in to watch the game in person, while we couldn’t even have a mate over to watch at home. But wow, is this year gonna be different.

The grand final returns to the MCG, and those who will be involved on the day are nearly beside themselves with excitement. We found out what goes into organising that one day in September – finally back at the ’G. ●

FILM The Italian Film Festival

brings a selection of sublime movies to Palace Cinemas.

f you didn’t get to Italy this past summer, like the rest of Melbourne, it’s time to bring la dolce vita to you. The St Ali Italian Film Festival scoops up the best cinema releases that tantalised audiences at the Cannes and Toronto film festivals and presents them for us to view at Palace Cinemas.

From a north versus south culture clash in the opening-night film, Belli Ciao, to a fashion documentary about Italian shoe designer Salvatore Ferragamo’s rise to fame in the 1930s, and the closing-night classic, Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow starring Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni, it’s time to salute Italy’s best cinema moments in style.

ST ALI ITALIAN FILM FESTIVAL 2022 \ Palace Cinemas, September 13 to October 12. ● italianfilmfestival.com.au

HERE ARE OUR TOP PICKS:

Cannes Palme d’Or nominee Nostalgia, directed

by Mario Martone and starring Pierfranceso Favino in a powerhouse performance, follows a man with a troubled past who returns to his native Neapolitan neighbourhood after 40 years away.

The drama is an adaptation of an Ermanno Rea novel, where badass neighbourhoods, orphans, gangsters, mothers and priests all find their place on the screen.

■ The chemistry between on-screen and off-screen couple Riccardo Scamarcio and Benedetta Porcaroli sizzles in the Fascist-era drama The Shadow of the Day. Set in 1938 in the picturesque provincial town of Ascoli Piceno in central Italy, it’s a love story with a thriller twist – where medieval monuments, churches and piazzas abound.

■ Ennio: The Maestro is a music documentary film by Giuseppe Tornatore about the life and

work of the legendary Italian composer Ennio Morricone. It features interviews with Clint Eastwood, Quentin Tarantino and Oliver Stone and clips of classic films scored by Morricone. Faith No More’s Mike Patton and Metallica’s James Hetfield also chime in on the magic that was Morricone’s spaghetti western oeuvre.

■ The Hummingbird is based on the best-selling novel by Sandro Veronese and follows the tumultuous life of ophthalmologist Marco Carrera from childhood through adulthood and looks at the family relationship.

Directed by Francesca Archibugi, it features a magnetic cast including Pierfranceso Favino, Nanni Moretti and Polish-Italian actress Kasia Smutniak. The film arrives in Melbourne exclusively after its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Cinema magnifico

The Perfect Dinner is a romantic comedy about a criminal who wants out of the Neapolitan mafia and a chef who is chasing a Michelin star – and what happens when their worlds collide in Rome.

It’s haute cuisine and delectable crime with plenty of Italian drama atop.

Imagine yourself sipping a prosecco as you watch money being laundered through this northern Italian restaurant. Would you like formaggio with that?

■ Breaking Up in Rome is a romantic comedy with a twist, written by and starring Edoardo Leo, who plays a relationship columnist who pens advice under a pseudonym and learns his life partner wants to leave him after a 10-year relationship.

This is a contemporary look at love and romance, with an epic backdrop that will see you wanting to pack your bags and go on vacanze to the eternal city, Rome. ●

really delve into some beautiful filmic styles,” Balbuziente says.

“I mean, I love that movie adaptation but we’re obviously working in a different medium, so we’ve created our own aesthetic.”

Given the bad rap foxes get in Australia – they’re an invasive species, after all, and many Victorian farmers might feel more sympathy for Boggis, Bunce and Bean – was there any wariness about producing a play with a pest as the hero?

“We do mention, in a very tongue-in-cheek way, that the whole story comes about because the fox family were stealing from the farmers. So we’re not, you know, condoning stealing,” Balbuziente says.

“But I think it’s nice to have what some refer to as a pest as the hero of the story, as a sort of ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’ message.”

What is more important, he says, is the way the animal community comes together to deal with disaster – something that might particularly resonate with youngsters in the COVID era. But he’s also aware that part of the enduring appeal of Roald Dahl is the thread of wickedness and wrongness that runs through his works.

“I remember reading ... the Roald Dahl collection as a kid and they were so grotesque and naughty that you almost felt naughty yourself just for reading them,” he says. “He had such an amazing way of telling stories through the lens of a child.

oxes are famed for their cunning, but even Fantastic Mr Fox struggled to steal his way into Melbourne theatres in the middle of a pandemic. Now, after a two-year sabbatical and a few false starts, shake & stir theatre co’s acclaimed adaptation of the Roald Dahl classic is finally coming to the Arts Centre.

Artistic director Ross Balbuziente says he’s been working the cast hard to get ready for what can be a very demanding production – particularly if you only have two legs. “The cast are running and jumping and leaping and burrowing throughout

the whole piece,” he says. “So every time we come back to rehearse the show, it’s sort of like fitness bootcamp. But this is one of my favourite productions that we’ve created ... so it’s also like slipping on a favourite pair of jeans.”

The show makes clever use of back projection to conjure up a dramatic landscape in which the three villainous farmers (Boggis, Bunce and Bean) use mechanical diggers to trash the fox family’s home and hill in pursuit of their vulpine prey. This clever tech allows the play to compete with the cinematic flair of the much-loved Wes Anderson film.

“Our play is epic in its scale and some of the key sequences like the excavation scene allow us to

really resonates when you’re a kid, but perhaps has a different message when you’re an adult.”

Balbuziente and shake & stir theatre co aren’t done with Dahl yet. Their newest adaptation, The Twits, has already debuted interstate to glowing reviews and another title is in development. For now, the artistic director hopes families will flock to the Arts Centre for some foxy holiday fun.

“Lots of shows claim to be fun for the whole family, but it doesn’t stick. I can, hand on heart, say that Fox really is for the entire family.” ● FANTASTIC MR FOX \ Playhouse, Arts Centre, September 20-24

COVER STORY

After two years away, the AFL grand final is back home at the MCG.

Leaps & bounds

N

obody is busier on AFL grand final week than Mike Brady, whose iconic football tune Up There Cazaly has been the soundtrack to September for decades.

The 74-year-old veteran Melbourne performer first sang the song at the 1979 grand final with co-writer and Two-Man Band collaborator Peter Sullivan and has belted it out to cheering fans at the Melbourne Cricket Ground each year since.

“To me, performing on grand final day is a ritual that I love. I’m really lucky and I’ve had a fantastic run,” Brady says. “The song is that old now, it’s spanned nearly three generations, the little ones know it, too.”

But in 2020 and 2021, he performed in an eerily empty MCG on the final day of the season, as Melburnians stayed home to watch the game played elsewhere – the first year in Brisbane, the next in Perth.

“I’m excited about this year. It’s like coming home, having the crowd there – 100,000 people,” Brady says.

Yes, footy finals are back in town and the biggest day on the sporting calendar is returning to its rightful home – the MCG. With COVID-19 forcing the AFL grand final interstate for the past two years, everyone from the ground staff and caterers to players and officials

(and, of course, the fans) are counting down the days until the premiership decider – finally back at the ’G – on Saturday, September 24.

Melbourne Cricket Club chief executive Stuart Fox believes it will be a September to remember.

“Given the finals have been played interstate the last two years, grand final tickets will be the hottest ticket in town. We just can’t wait and I think it will be a very emotional and sentimental day for a lot of people and particularly Victorians given how tough they’ve had it,” he says. “It’ll be a real celebration.”

Preparation of the famous turf started in August.

After Round 23, ground staff did a minor renovation, which featured 12 days of total rest then coring, fertilisation plus grow lights and a whole lot of TLC to ensure the surface is in pristine condition for its biggest day.

“We don’t like a blade of grass out of place. The turf team pride themselves on the ground looking absolutely magnificent,” Fox says.

Vertical lines are mowed into the grass during the home-and-away season but a special touch on grand final day sees a diamond design take shape with the surface on show to the world.

It’s all systems go at the MCG, with meticulous preparation going into everything from logistics and operations to members’ ticketing and food and beverage.

“It’s vital because we’re on show to all of Australia and the world and we want the ’G and the operations to run perfectly for one of the most important days on our schedule,” Fox explains.

“On grand final day we have up to 4000 staff in the venue, so making sure that workforce is well prepared and ready is important given we’ve had this issue around global staffing shortages. It’s been a challenge all year.”

About 11,000 corporate dining meals will be served on the big day while up to 90,000 hungry punters in the stands will tuck into 32,000 serves of hot chips and 21,000 meat pies.

The stadium’s commercial kitchen works overtime with about 40 functions held at the venue during grand final week.

Also ready to work overtime is Brady, who is gearing up for a month of performing the footy anthem inspired by ruckman Roy Cazaly, who played for St Kilda and South Melbourne during the 1910s and ’20s. Brady says he does about 40 gigs through September – up to eight of those gigs on grand final day alone.

“It’s a critical time. I have to be very careful and look after my voice. Lots of rest and honey.

I recently had COVID and a dreadful cough but luckily, I’ve recovered and am ready for a big month.”

Regarded as the best umpire in the game, Matt Stevic has officiated at nine grand finals, including the past seven in a row. He says it’s a huge privilege to be selected, with umpires appointed based on performance throughout the regular season, then the finals.

“When it’s full, a packed MCG is probably the greatest sporting arena in the world. The buzz is absolutely electric,” Stevic says.

All eyes have been on Stevic when he’s had the important job of raising the ball to signal the start of the big game.

“I’ve never skydived but I imagine the nerves are probably similar beforehand because there’s a rush of adrenaline and fear of getting it wrong.”

One of the highlights of the premiership celebrations is the 23 Auskick kids who present the medallions to the winning team.

Harry Austin, 6, from South Morang Auskick Centre hopes he will hang a medal around the neck of Melbourne star Christian Petracca.

“I feel lucky, happy and excited about giving a medal and meeting some of the players,” he says.

Brady says he feels this year’s grand final will be a bigger-than-usual celebration.

“I might even be a bit nervous,” he says. “I’ll be quietly dedicating the performance to everyone who has done it hard over the last couple of years.” ●

A masterful re-invention of this classically pretty Victorian terrace has transformed it into a light, elegant and spacious home filled with contemporary luxury and amenity.

The picket fence, lace-trimmed verandah and simple, stylish garden present an inviting facade that conceals the space and architectural merit contained within.

On the ground floor, two of the home’s three bedrooms open off the hallway and have built-in wardrobes with mirrored doors. Next is the family bathroom and the laundry that opens to the light well.

The rear of the house is the kitchen, dining and living area and it is splendid. A void over the kitchen at one end, and a rear wall of glass at the other, draw in the sunlight.

A marble island bench and ample dark cabinetry, along with premium appliances, including a 900-millimetre stove, undermount sink and spray tap, come together to make a kitchen that can easily cope with entertaining as well as daily demands.

Sliding stacker doors open up the living section to the decked courtyard where a built-in barbecue and seating, a green backdrop, and north-west orientation make this a tempting place to kick back. A few steps down is the garage.

Throughout the house, white walls and shades of grey make a cohesive decor. Bedrooms are carpeted and oak is used for public areas and the stairs that lead up to the fabulous main bedroom floor.

This is a truly luxurious hideaway. The bedroom overlooks the courtyard and has a stunning and well-designed en suite trimmed with marble and with an oval free-standing bath
