Don’t Stop - WAKE IN FRIGHT (1971, Ted Kotcheff).

When you break down, when you stop to take a closer look, when you leave the path you better bloody well remember how to get back, cos if you don’t you might not ever get back.

Teacher John Grant’s leaving the one room outback school he teaches at to spend the Christmas by the beach in Sydney. One night in The Yabba, halfway home and all the way to nowhere, turns into six weeks and the most searing, raw examination of the Australian psyche that exists to date. Banned almost immediately upon its release, Wake in Fright doesn’t have a bone to pick, it sucks the marrow dry.

—Theo Landon
