Review of Bad Boy Bubby (1993) by Daniel P — 19 Sep 2011
A startling film, and clearly an influence on the likes of Dogtooth, Bad Boy Bubby is disturbing and troubling but also often very funny. Despite a relentlessly bleak first hour, the film has an optimistic, even humanistic conclusion and a refreshingly positive atheistic philosophy.
The final section does drag, it's true, especially some of the band-jam scenes, but Nicholas Hope's performance is extraordinary and how many films can you name that contain incest, horrific abuse, death by cling-film and rape and yet have a decidedly upbeat ending?
