Pure Shit
Australia 1975
Dir: Bert Deiling
In one word: Rough
Lots of needles and the run aruond to find something to fill them. 'Pure Shit' starts with several minutes of black screen and music. Is it a reference to the blackness of the hit? As it is filmed in Melbourne for much of the film I was trying to spot familiar locations, only one I can be sure of. By and large the acting was stilted, made more noticable with the appearance of Max Gillies as Dr Wolff. Not a great film, but interesting in the very different view of drug usage/addiction.
Why see it? You have an interest in drug culture films, Australian films or you want to see a gritty (such a cliched word) slice of life trying to score.
