Rolf de Heer's BAD BOY BUBBY is an utterly original dramatic comedy sure to raise a few eyebrows and offend a few sensibilities. Bubby has been kept prisioner by his mother in a ghastly slum room for the first 35 years of his life. She keeps him in line by warning him that beyond the door of their small apartment the world is awash in poison gas. She also uses him for sex. When his mother's long-lost husband returns home after being away for decades, Bubby's biazarre world comes apart at the seams, forcing him our into the real world for the first time. Seen through the eyes of this tabula rasa, the world Bubby encounters is as warped, illogical and strangely affecting as the world from which he has just escaped. Part "Candide", part "Being There", BAD BOY BUBBY is a picaresque tale quite unlike anything that's ever been screen or see before. (And for the record, no cats were killed while making this film.)
