剧情简介：
在与世隔绝的竞争冲浪救生世界里，一个澳大利亚的英雄被一个年轻的同性恋竞争者夺去了本届冠军。他开始恐吓，欺负新人，但是被迫面对他自己的被压抑的同性恋欲望……
In the cloistered world of competitive surf-lifesaving, an Australian hero is dethroned as the reigning champion by a younger, gay competitor. He embarks on a campaign of intimidation and bullying against the newcomer but is forced to confront his own repressed homoerotic desire. A booze-fueled night out brings jealousy, homophobic fear and unrequited lust to a tragic and shocking climax.
Three surf lifesavers on a big night out. Jealousy, homophobic fears and unrequited lust culminate in a tragic booze-fueled episode of near-fatal bullying.
This is a very important film as it puts the the ugliness of homophobia firmly under the microscope. Fantastic performances by Matt Levett (in particular), Jack Matthews and Harry Cook keep this piece moving along, aided by razor sharp direction by Dean Francis (who also DoP’d the film). It’s hard to define this film – it’s original. Shot on a mini budget around the beaches of Sydney and the seedy night spots of Kings Cross, the film is edited (also by Francis) is a montage style which works well, and suits the subject matter and feel of the film. The best way to describe it is as ‘a ride’. As an audience, one is challenged, terrified, ashamed, enlightened and enthralled – but best of all, one comes out of the screening changed, and thinking deeply about what you have just seen. Seek it out. Highly recommended.
