moviejuice and Unknown Pleasures are stoked to present a true PUNK GRUNGE INDIE CLASSIC FILM, from 1975, the notorious PURE SHIT.

One of the most unclassifiable of Australian films, a rollicking heroin narrative, B-grade yet still clearly with artistic integrity. No subsequent drug film in Australia has been able to match its energy, wit, humour, or sheer joie de vivre. It is a hard-hitting drug drama, but also an unbelievably funny black comedy. Reviled by many, it's also been celebrated by many, and had a great (but limited) 2009 DVD release. Featuring a killer cast led by Gary Waddell, it is one of only 3 features made by the inconoclastic director Bert Deling (1942-2022).

"The most kinetic Australian film ever" - Rolf de Heer, film director
"The greatest feature film ever made in Australia" - John Flaus, film critic
"A see-it-to-believe-it classic" - Luke Buckmaster, film critic
