Austrian tragedy imitates Oz arthouse movie Bad Boy Bubby?
Mood:  sad
Topic: world

We were a little freaked out by this art house 1993 movie by Australian director Rolf de Heer we watched several years ago. Now we are hearing of life of this awful abuse case in Austria tragically imitating art: As explained by wikipedia

Bad Boy Bubby (1993 Port Adelaide, 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.[1] 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 Umbrella Entertainment.
