Movies - Bad Boy Bubby


Bad Boy Bubby (1993 Australia) is a black comedy and drama film written and directed by Rolf de Heer. It stars Nicholas Hope
and Carmel Johnson.

Bubby became notorious for pushing the boundaries of good taste with its strong scenes featuring violence, incest and atheism amongst other taboo topics. In the UK it was cut for cruelty to a cat. The film was released on DVD in April 2005 by the Blue Underground
company, and a special Two Disc Collectors' Edition was also released in June 2005 by

Bubby won four 1994 Australian Film Institute
awards; Best Director (Rolf de Heer), Best Actor in a Leading Role (Nicholas Hope), Best Original Screenplay (Rolf de Heer) and Best Editing (Suresh Ayyar). It was also nominated for Best Film (Rolf de Heer) and Best Cinematography (Ian Jones).

Synopsis

Bubby (Nicholas Hope) is a 35-year-old man who has never set foot outside his mother's (Claire Benito) two-room slum. She kept him from the world outside, telling him that there is poisonous gas out there and without the gas mask he will instantly suffocate.

When Bubby's father ("Pop" played by Ralph Cotterill) returns home after 30 years, Bubby is driven out to head into an inhospitable world.

Audio

Director Rolf de Heer describes the movie as one large experiment, the most prominent of which is the method used to record the dialogue; binaural microphones were sewn into the wig worn by leading actor Nicholas Hope, one above each ear. This method gave the sound track a unique sound that closely resembled what the character would actually be hearing.
