Genres & Description

Drama

6.6 / 10

The film is set in a house occupied by a collection of social misfits. The main storyline is that of a strange musician's relationship with a girl, their drug use and his band. These events are surrounded by a chaotic myriad of sub-plots. A homicidal chainsaw maniac's lust for his machine and a T.V station's offer of money in return for a piece of the Skylab satellite that has fallen to earth are just two. The film is composed of small fragments in the lives of its inhabitants, each following onto the next, sometimes overlapping and ending in tragedy.

Oz Film Festival

Oz FIlm Festival @Regent St Cinema, London July 1 2017 Drama (18) - Based on real life events, this cult classic depicts the comings and goings within a shambolic inner city Melbourne share house during the punk crazed late 1970s. The film swirls around hedonistic Sam, played by an enigmatic Michael Hutchence in his only screen performance, a lead singer in the electro-punk band Dogs In Space, and his reckless addiction to a toxic mix of music, pleasure and drugs. It perfectly captures the wild abandon of youth and the dreadful price of untethered ambition COMMENT Laila Dickson Festival Director - OUR QUOTES: Laila – I’ve loved this film right from the beginning, having grown up right in the midst of St Kilda and it’s grungy live band scene during the 70s and 80s. We felt it was incredibly important to pay homage to Michael for the 20th anniversary of his death too – and the fact that INXS formed 40 years ago and the iconic KICK album is also celebrating its 30th anniversary clinched the deal. REVIEW: “Lowenstein’s ode to a bygone, woebegone, couch-crashing era is a stunning piece of work, captured with an in-the-moment atmosphere that leaves most social realist films for dead.” Luke Buckmaster, The Guardian - @Sunday, July 23, 2017 12:21 AM

@chickenttt I think you're just a little slow dear. It's a movie (that's why it's a "trailer") called Dogs In Space: the time in which the movie is set was focused on all things "spacey" - including the animals that were sent in space. Hence, Dogs In Space (which the band named itself also). Goddammned foreigners: those American's don't understand much! :P - @Sunday, September 12, 2010 11:21 PM

I used to have this soundtrack on cassette! I think the soundtrack and the movie are still both OOP. BUT If you like this movie and you like the music then definitely get the comp entitled DO THE POP! REDUX from SAVAGE BEAT. Two hours of the rawest Aussie punk imaginable. - @Friday, November 20, 2009 9:05 AM
