It is a delicious tragicomedy of errors – hilarious and I recommend it. Still trying to work out exactly what the title has to do with the story though. Anyway, there’s this actress in it, Tilda Swinton, who is a dead ringer for our Aussie Deputy PM Julia Gillard, see for yourself…

They are even almost the same age. One thing that is not alike however is their voice. Tilda’s is a graceful, British intonation. Gillard’s accent and tone could strip paint.

Oscar... Martin...

Is The Incredibles‘ fashion designer Edna Mode a ref to Rei Kawakubo, founder of Japanese haute-couture fashion-house Comme des Garcons? Methinks so…
