AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Christos Tsiolkas invites you into his twenty-five year journey of viewing, reviewing and re-imagining the film [The Devil's Playground]. He remembers his first illicit experience of the film at age thirteen and describes how his views of it changed in later years. As he chronicles the impact of The Devil's Playground on the development of his love of cinema, he also explores the film in terms of sexuality, politics, history and aesthetics.' -- Currency Press website (http://www.currency.com.au/film_index.htm)

Notes
