Don's Party (1976)
Country: AUS
Technical: col 90m
Director: Bruce Beresford
Cast: Ray Barrett, Clare Binney, Pat Bishop
Synopsis:
A Melbourne schoolteacher and Labor Party supporter invites a bunch of friends to his house for an election party, but as the evening wears on the results are not going as expected and alcohol consumption fuels mutual antagonisms and misogynistic behaviour.
Review:
Boisterous and profane puncturing of Aussie male pride is the order of the day in this brash comedy that gets more and more serious as the drama unfolds. So long as it does not fall into the trap of self-caricature, which it is in danger of doing at times, it has much to say about the emptiness of our modern lives.
