LJ I saw this movie based on its likeness to the movie "Go", a movie which also didn't do remarkably but I still enjoy. This film deserves more credit than its received, both in box office revenue and reviews. Admittedly, the plot does have more than its share of conventions, and some of the events in the film are more than improbable. However, the characters, in their stereotypes, each serve well to represent a certain type of person that you might meet (and i have met) out in the Australian party scene. There's the way-freaky and a bit too open cross-dresser, the down to earth guy, the tripped out hippie girlfriend, the sought-after DJ girl, the really REALLY weird guy, and then you get into the Kylie Minogue storyline and admittedly, things take a turn for the worse. However, one of the greatest parts of the film itself is the style of cinematography shown. Some of the camera angles are a little raw, a little experimental, but more often than not does well to portray what's happening at the time. If you pick this movie up with an open mind and looking for a movie just to kick back and enjoy for a reasonably visceral but not all too insightful good time, than you should have no worries. If you're looking for something to change your life, I'd recommend something else, unless you're thinking of taking up DJing in Sydney.

enthogenesis-1 This was a first feature for Clinton, I was there, while he shot this mess back in Adelaide around 98...Although I wasn't involved directly in the production, I was witness to the typically delusional behavior, post set, that went down,: the parties, the drugs, the illusionary glamor, really an example of what not to do when making a film, but also a byproduct of young, talented people getting caught up in classic ideologies of fame & worldly position.I like Clinton, we had a curious friendship, he deserves to have another crack with a more mature script...there the problems lay, and I'm sure a much better job will be done, if there's a next time round.! Because, frankly, he certainly didn't do himself any favours with this on his CV and neither did the cast...but hey, it was a paying job, in country where actors regularly starve to deathIn summary, fascinating to watch 'the making of' basically, not so much fun to experience (alas!).

djstreader Missed it at the cinema, but was always slightly compelled. Found it in the throw-out bin at my local video shop for a measly two bucks! Will I now give it away to anyone who wants it? Probably! No purposeful plot, one dimensional characters, plastic world ripped off from many far better films, no decent dialogue to speak of. You know that empty feeling when you come down off ecstasy? Its that feeling right here. Sad thing is, the Australia I know is heading in this direction, minus the melodrama and simple answers. Interesting only to see the older Aussie actors (who had to ACT back in their day to get by) vs the newer Aussie actors (who have to LOOK GOOD to get by). Like some horribly garish narrative introduction to a film clip that never actually starts... Poor Kylie, started her career as an actress as well...

lane_adrian Isn't a sample what a doctor gets you to take to the lab when you've had food poisoning? Ideal name for the movie. This movie had too much blood, too many people getting shot and then being fine. Kylie Minogue's character didn't let her act as well as we've seen her in (even) Neighbours. The best character seemed to be Phil, the Indian kebab shop owner, mainly because he stayed out of trouble. I don't think I'll try to see this one again.
