Wake in Fright
(1971) Directed by Ted Kotcheff ("First Blood," "North Dallas Forty," "The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz)", the movie tells the story of a British schoolteacher's descent into personal demoralization at the hands of the deranged, hard-drinking residents of a remote Australian town. John Grant (Gary Bond) teaches at a tiny school in the outback. On his way to Sydney to catch a vacation flight, he stops in a rural mining town, where he is reluctantly drawn into the macho antics of the local men. After losing his money in the gambling game two-up, he is taken on a drunken and brutal kangaroo hunt with three of the beer-guzzling louts -- a horrifying ordeal that culminates in a shattering sexual assault. The film had its world premiere at the 1971 Cannes Film Festival, where it was nominated for a Palme d'Or. Retitled "Outback" and hurried into a few theaters across the U.S. with minimal advertising support, the movie lasted barely a week before it was pulled from circulation and vanished into obscurity. For over three decades the film materials were thought to be lost, until the movie's persistent cinematographer unearthed the original negative elements in Pennsylvania in canisters marked for imminent destruction. The materials were painstakingly restored frame by frame and the new restoration was invited back to Cannes in 2009. Guest curator Martin Scorsese said: "Wake in Fright is a deeply -- and I mean deeply -- unsettling and disturbing movie. I saw it when it premiered at Cannes in 1971, and it left me speechless. Visually, dramatically, atmospherically and psychologically, it's beautifully calibrated and it gets under your skin one encounter at a time, right along with the protagonist played by Gary Bond. I'm excited that 'Wake in Fright' has been preserved and restored and that it is finally getting the exposure it deserves." Co-stars Donald Pleasence, Jack Thompson and Chips Rafferty. Formats: DVD, Blu-ray Disc. Extras: Commentary by director Ted Kotcheff and editor Anthony Buckley, making-of featurette "To the Yabba and Back," Q&A with Kotcheff from the 2009 Toronto Film Festival, a look at the movie's restoration, "Who Needs Art?" vintage segment on "Wake in Fright," theatrical trailers, 28-page booklet.
