Acclaimed writer/director Fred Schepisi's (Roxanne, The Russia House, Empire Falls) first feature is the accomplished and currently pertinent story of boy's coming of age set in an Australian Catholic boys' school. Based on the director's experiences in a monastery, repressed desires meet Christian doctrine head-on. Winner of five Australian Film Institute awards, including Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Film (1976). |
