(fukkin’ love love love this movie, and it has one of the best death scenes of all time in it.) Dogs In Space and We’re Livin’ on Dog Food @ Cinefamily “Unscreened in Los Angeles for ages, Richard Lowenstein’s seminal Australian post-punk masterpiece Dogs In Spacecomes to the Cinefamily in a brand-new HD restoration! Based on Lowenstein’s own whirlwind experiences as a young man in the heart of the late ’70s Melbourne scene, the film is a dense, chaotic stew of vignettes charting the endless 24/7 partying that takes place in a trashy communal house — a magical realm in which its wild, impoverished inhabitants do dope, go to shows, play shows, smash TVs, occasionally go to school, and generally live out a gloriously hedonistic life path. In the center of this storm is Sam (played by INXS frontman Michael Hutchence), the charismatic heroin addict whose Zen-like calm fares him well amongst a kingdom’s worth of other jokers, junkies and misfits. Part Time Punks main man DJ Michael Stock will be spinning records before and after the films!”
