WELCOME STRANGER
Dir: Jason Turley | Australia | 80 mins | Drama
We have a real treat for you Closing Night, the first feature from MUFF ingènue Jason Turley. The plot: A strange day begins for 18 year old Adam with a phone call from an old school friend. After several years without any contact, Luke is eager for a reunion. Bewildered, Adam sets off to meet up with his childhood mate. What follows is a sequence of interactions with Luke’s familymembers, overlaid with a drug and alcohol binge. As the day progresses through a series of funny, sad and violent clashes it becomes clear that the stranger has little in common with the people he has been thrown in with. What all these characters do share though is an intense desire to be something more than what they are. A great feature film debut from the director of acclaimed shorts Scab A Smoke and Dirty Work. Remember, if you want great Aussie cinema, come to MUFF to see it first.
