This is an Australian film that is totally off the map. The word "unique" is overused these days but in this case it fits the bill absolutely. It can only maybe be compared to David Lynch's Eraserhead but only because of its surrealism, oddness and unpredictability... it's composed of a series of bizarre events in which you have no idea where the film will take you next. It was given a very small distribution but it would shock and delight audiences everywhere it was screened and it went on to become one of the most daring and controversial cult films of the 90's. And what's more it would also pick up the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival.

In the character of "Bad Boy Bubby" we follow the life of a strange, uneducated man-child (portrayed by a brilliant Nicholas Hope), who has been locked away by his mom for thirty years. When Bubby's long-lost father turns up one day, the boy-man seizes an opportunity to flee, and embarks on a dark journey to encounter the unknown. We then follow Bubby as he ventures into the outside world and has a series of bizarre adventures as he discovers life beyond the walls of his previous prison.

Besides winning the Grand Jury Prize at Venice, it was also the winner of Four Australian Academy Awards, including Best Actor, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. And we will be screening the uncut director's version of this flick, certainly one of the most wild, strange and astonishing films ever made!
