Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, Rolf de Heer’s cult masterpiece remains to date one of Australia's most classically confronting and uncompromising films.

35-year-old Bubby (Nicholas Hope) has never left his apartment. Tricked by his God-fearing mother into believing toxic gas will kill him if he leaves, Bubby leads a sheltered life, shaped and controlled by his mother. When Bubby’s father suddenly appears, the relationship complicates, and Bubby must leave the apartment to find life anew for the very first time.

This searing black comedy was a critical smash hit, sweeping awards for its innovation, dark humour, and experimental techniques – and gaining infamy for its quotability, now eternally enshrined in pop culture.
