Summary: Bad Boy Bubby focuses on a 35 year-old man-child whose 'mother/keeper' keeps him imprisoned in a windowless hovel. From the moment it entered the festival cycle in 1993, the film has polarized audiences.

Subject: DISABLED AND THE CINEMA; DISABLED IN FILMS. AUSTRALIA; AUSTRALIA. 1990's
Summary: " Ellis offers a rich account of Australian cinema from the standpoint of critical disability studies, one of the few full-length accounts of disability and film internationally and a pioneering study that should be widely read. Gerard Goggin, coauthor of Disability in Australia Disabled characters in 1990s Australian national cinema are both invisible and hypervisible. Existing within the landscape of diversity as it emerged in repsonse to multiculturalism and minority group interests, they are most often used to rehabilitate a previously marginalised other. This book critically examines numerous 1990s Australian films with reference to socio-political influences to approach disability as a problem with society rather than as one within a damaged body. This book is directed towards researchers in Communications, Media Studies, and Film and Disabiltiy fields. This book is also addressed to those who have an interest in people who exist on the margins of society. " -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "When 'The Piano' opened in 1993 it was hailed by many as a modern masterpiece. Written and directed by Jane Campion, it won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, making her the first woman ever to win this prestigious award. It went on to win Academy Awards for Best Original Screenplay (Campion), Best Actress (Holly Hunter) and Best Supporting Actress (Anna Paquin). "In this thoughtful and perceptive critique, Gail Jones assesses the film's unearthly and controversial visions, its poetic power and its capacity to entrance and to alienate."
