Movie Reviews of Bad Boy BubbyMovie Review: Masterpiece of Black Comedy! Summary: 5 Stars
I first learned of this film from the curator of film at the George Eastman House in Rochester, NY. He said he had been on lay over from a plane trip in Brussels. Since he was a film curator, he tries to see rare films from the world. He ended up seeing Bad Boy Bubby. His search for the film to be shown in the US involved having to use the internet and people he knew in the Australian Film Industry to track down a print of the film. He ended up having to contact the director directly to obtain a 35 mm print of the film. I was really bowled over by it and have seen the film twice on the silver screen. I was thrilled to see that it was so easily available on DVD.
The story portrayed is about a man who has been locked away in an apartment by his mother his whole life. Bubby's language and intellectual development has been stunted by the abuse suffered over the years. Life changes a bit when his long lost father returns and Bubby ends up in the world, unable to do anything but mimic what others say and sounds. Bubby emerges from an abusive household to a hostile world which slowly warms up to him and becomes more compassionate. As Bubby is exposed to more compassion and kindness, he mimics the compassion and kindness others have shown him. A good allegory on how people are affected by the way they are treated. A very beautiful black comedy with heart.
