This film was preceded by its reputation as so many people I know had seen it, loved it, hated it, recommended it, condemned it !
I needed to make up my own mind
The tag line reads - 'he's been in his room for 35 years - and it time to let him out'.
Infamously pushing the boundaries of good taste and dealing with taboo topics such as violence, incest and atheism it's not surprising that some people feel like their eyeballs have been violated after watching this 1993 Australian classic.
Whilst the above is certainly true - BB Bubby is also hilarious, clever and a must see film. It's interesting to know that due to budget constraints and lack of funding - the film was made over a 15 year period and involved 10 different producers. Subsequently - the feel and look of the film changes drastically throughout - its almost like one of those figures that you make with everyone drawing a different body part and then folding the paper over.
The director 'Rolf de Heer has since revealed that the dialogue was recorded using Binaural Microphones which were sewn into the wig of the leading actor to give a unique sound to resemble what the character would actually be hearing.
