Trivia
The location of the group shower scene, a locker room in the Melbourne Cricket Ground stadium, was so cold that heaters had to be brought in to warm up the set. Between takes, the actors stayed nude under the showers where it was warmer.

Brutal, magical...how can these two words co-exist

This film is astonishing.

Brutal, Disturbing, Sexy, Mystical, Ethereal, Eerie, Empty and Yearning.

A musical journey into the AIDS block of a prison. The emotional landscape and dream world of John Brumpton's character is depicted as though a lucid dream. It is fragmented and sickening, incomplete and arresting in its movement from moment to moment.

Reminds me of Jean Genet.

This filmmaker should keep making dangerous work like this. I look forward to the next drama from Mr. Johnson.
