Overview

The place is Melbourne, Australia 1978. The punk phenomenon is sweeping the country and Dogs In Space, a punk group, are part of it. In a squat, in a dodgy suburb, live a ragtag collection of outcasts and don't-wanna-bes who survive on a diet of old TV space films, drugs and good music. And the satellite SKYLAB could crash through their roof at any moment...

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A scruffy, ramshackle portrait of Melbourne's 1978 punk scene, where a band and their hangers-on survive in squalid bohemia, held together by music, drugs, and the dark comedy of their own unraveling. It's chaotic and deliberately grimy, moving between moments of genuine camaraderie and the slow, inevitable dissolution of everyone involved.
