ROMPER STOMPER

* Please note: This a Region B pressing & requires an All-Region Player to play in the U.S. * Featuring a young Russell Crowe in a knock out early performance, ROMPER STOMPER is a gritty Australian urban thriller highlighting the danger of scapegoating and racial prejudice. With it's skinhead protagonists and violent motif, the movie walks in the shadow of productions such as Alan Clarke's MADE IN BRITAIN and acted as a precursor to later work like AMERICAN HISTORY X and THIS IS ENGLAND. Hando (Crowe), the psychotic leader of a gang of marauding neo-Nazi teenagers, begins a relationship with the epileptic Gabrielle, but though they at first make a good team the courtship soon turns abusive. Though Gabrielle has designs to take Hando away from his life of crime and destruction, his indoctrination into a racist world viewpoint seems all-consuming. Hard-hitting and at times cruel, this sadistic drama bleeds with unpalatable truths and difficult to face up to notions of culture, identity and working-class disintegration. Special Features: Behind the Scenes, Bonus Footage, Commentary: Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and Josh Nelson; Geoffrey Wright (director)., Interviews: Russell Crowe, Jacqueline McKenzie, Tony Lee, Geoffrey Wright, Paul McDonald., Trailers
