Compo is a 1989 low budget Australian film.[2] [3]
Buesst made it while running the St Kilda Film Festival.[4]
A man goes to work for the state compensation office.
The Tribune said the film "was mostly funny, but a little too long. Although it's aparody of the worst aspects of the public service, the portrayal of people with injuries as leeches on society did get a little annoying. Nonetheless, for a small budget, home-grown movie Nigel Buesst has done very well."[5]
The Age said it "had a smattering of excellent on liners but is a narrative and satirical shambles and is further sullied by some dreadful miscasting."[6]
