Description

Wake in Fright

Sweat, Dust and Beer… There's Nothing Else Out Here Mate!

Awe-inspiring, brutal and stunning, Wake in Fright is the story of John Grant, a bonded teacher who arrives in the rough outback mining town of Bundanyabba planning to stay overnight before catching the plane to Sydney. But his one night stretches to five and he plunges headlong toward his own destruction. When the alcohol-induced mist lifts, the educated John Grant is no more. Instead there is a self-loathing man in a desolate wasteland, dirty, red-eyed, sitting against a tree and looking at a rifle with one bullet left…

Believed lost for many years, Wake in Fright has been painstakingly restored by Australia's Na­tional Film and Sound Archive and AtLab Deluxe, and is presented in its original uncompromisin­g form.

Critic Reviews:

  • " It's a remarkable film. " – Margaret Hinxman
  • " Blends staged re-enactments with documentary footage of senseless slaughter to extremely distressing effect. " – Mark Kermode
  • " Brilliantly directed by Kotcheff, the film has the disorienting and menacing quality of Joseph Losey films such as Accident and The Servant. " – Geoffrey Macnab
