Review of Dogs in Space (1986) by Cole W — 12 Dec 2016
A bunch of folks live in a communal house in Melbourne during the "Little Bands" music scene in 1978. Not easy to say much about this film other than the soundtrack is great due to the film largely being an exercise in chaos.
It's literally two hours of dozens of people all talking and yelling at the same time. It's somewhat amazing that it isn't terrible. It's not exactly good ... but it's not terrible.
It ends with a tragedy that has very little impact because none of these people are actual characters. Michael Hutchence headlines as a sub-verbal singer for the house band. The soundtrack features Iggy Pop, Brian Eno, Gang of Four, The Birthday Party and a host of Aussie post-punk bands from this scene.
