WAKE IN FRIGHT Nov 16-22
A film by Ted Kotcheff, Drama/Thriller, NR, 114 min, in English.
"The quintessential Australian exploitation filma harrowing journey, but one you'll likely want to take again, very soon." Indiewire
"Vibrant with color, atmosphere, emotion, violence and dread. It's simultaneously terrifying and hilarious, a full-on shotgun blast to the face of rediscovered 1970s weirdness This tale of endless debauchery is unforgettable." Salon
Wake in Fright is the story of John Grant, a bonded teacher who arrives in the rough outback mining town of Bundanyabba planning to stay overnight before catching the plane to Sydney. But his one night stretches to five and he plunges headlong toward his own destruction. When the alcohol-induced mist lifts, the educated John Grant is no more. Instead there is a self-loathing man in a desolate wasteland, dirty, red-eyed, sitting against a tree and looking at a rifle with one bullet left.
