If you’re in Melbourne and if you hurry, you’ll catch 99 Homes at the Nova in Carlton. It’s brilliant.
Set in America in wake of the sub-prime housing market crash, it’s about decent people losing their houses. It’s a mixture of Mephistopheles, Zola and Thomas Hardy combined as a recently-unemployed single father struggles to regain possession of his home and becomes forced into becoming something and someone he detests.
Brilliant, but sick-of-your-stomach, anxious, clammy, rage-inducing viewing.
I have to be careful with rage-inducing viewing. A powerful film will keep me awake all night for months 😦
I am managing the History Carnival for January 2016 and need nominations for your own blog post or someone else’s by 31/1/2016. The theme I have chosen is History of the Visual, Performing, Musical and Literary Arts, but all good history posts will be welcomed.
