Bad Boy Bubby


1993, Dir. Rolf De Heer. DVD: Blue Underground
Review by Liam Spengler


Billy Drago/Hugo Weaving hybrid Nicholas Hope is Bubby; a grinning man-child, who after a life-time of beatings and incest decides to escape from his mother’s hovel sex prison. Forest Gump sat on a bench and ate chocolate, I Am Sam cried and shat his pants, Bubby wraps cats in cellophane and patronises fat women. De Heer's masterful black comedy traverses between the squalid and ethereal, coming across like The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser directed by David Lynch...even if the culmination is closer to Nick Cave: Behind the Music.
