A fantastical comedy about the clash of two cultures. Some likely surfing lads on Bondi Beach take offense to the Japanese surfer Jiro (Monchi) on the water and an entourage of Japanese tourists taking photos. Insults and racist slurs ensue until Jiro summons the mythical monster Godzilla to come to his defence. Panic follows as crowds on the beach foreshore run to safety.
Directed by Anna Broinowski, Tsunami leans on a strong ensemble — Kym Wilson, Anna Broinowski, Tiriel Mora — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1999.
