THE WRAP UP
Christ kid, you’re a weirdo!”
Our Saturday night cult classic for 2018's OZ Film Festival was Rolf de Heer’s Bad Boy Bubby, one of the wildest, most disturbing films ever to bubble up from the deepest recesses of the Australian psyche. It also happens to be one of the greatest.
Imprisoned by his own mother in a dirty, windowless flat, 35-year-old Bubby (Nicholas Hope) has never seen the outside world. But when he finally breaks free, it is the outside world that’s left reeling as he embarks on a twisted odyssey of self-discovery.
Internationally revered and despised in equal measure, this is a cult classic in the truest sense. Screening from a restored digital print sourced directly from de Heer, this is a big screen experience not to be missed!BAD BOY BUBBY is one of the most disturbing (and greatest) films to emerge from Australia. Revered and despised in equal measure, this is a genuine cult classic not to be missed on the big screen!
“This dark satire-cum-parable (cling)wraps itself in a quirkily beautiful aesthetic that keeps us watching even when the material is at its most repellent or alarming. It is a rich, idiosyncratic and at times very funny glimpse into the corrupting, contradictory nature of modern life.”
Anton Bitel, Projected Figures
