MUTINY IN HEAVEN: THE BIRTHDAY PARTY

Sept 22 thru 25
Fri to Mon 4:00, 8:15

Dir. Ian White - 2023 - 86m - Australia

Narrated exclusively by the original BIRTHDAY PARTY band members, Mutiny in Heaven delves deep into a band's psyche, chronicling how Nick Cave and his school friends startled audiences with their confrontational performances, primal screams, outlaw gothic horror, and anarchic lifestyle. Featuring never-before-seen personal footage from band members, dynamic animation sequences, and jaw dropping concert clips, the film provides a sweaty, electrifying front-row seat to to one of the most legendary live acts.


"The epitome of musical chaos and destruction." - The Independent


"A reckless whirl of mutant rockabilly, black-eyed swamp-blues, outlaw imagery and stomach-churning violence, The Birthday Party were one of the definitive post-punk groups, creative and destructive in equal measure." - 4AD 


"Blazing hard and blindingly bright, The Birthday Party were a magnesium strip of rock & roll intensity." - The Quietus


“Punk had perhaps correctly loathed the plasticine nature of showbiz, but The Birthday Party took the spectacle and blew it up, exposing and embracing the violence underneath.” – Pitchfork
