Synopsis

Bad Boy Bubby has been kept locked in a house for his entire thirty years. His mother is convinced 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.

Our take

Considered a cult classic of the 90s, this descent into an abyss of madness and depravation shocked audiences worldwide after its Venice premiere. Trivia: the film was shot by 31 different cinematographers (!) in an attempt to better capture the feeling of seeing things for the first time.
