Synopsis

Bad Boy Bubby is just that: a bad boy. So bad, in fact, that his mother has kept him locked in their house for his entire thirty years, convincing him that the air outside is poisonous. After a visit from his estranged father, circumstances force Bubby into the waiting world, a place which is just as unusual to him as he is to the world. –IMDb

De Heer was born in Heemskerk in The Netherlands but migrated to Sydney when he was eight years old. He attended the Australian Film Television and Radio School in Sydney. His company is called Vertigo Productions and is based in Adelaide. De Heer primarily makes alternative or arthouse films. According to the jacket notes of the videotape, de Heer holds the honor of co-producing and directing the only motion picture, Dingo, in which the jazz legend Miles Davis appears as an actor.

"Normality" comes so easy for some people while they are so oblivious to the privileges that build up their comfortable condition. Lacking any form of privilege throughout existence turned Bubby into a mentally misshapen lunatic who despite his severe impairments and hotchpotch means of interacting, still holds a sane perception of what happens around him without having any fundamental social dogma to rely upon.

I don't think harming a real cat did any favors to the movie. I stopped watching it because i could not bear seeing torture for the "sake" of "art". There is too much torture happening in the world, the director should have stuck to incest.
