Don's Party
What a helluva night!
Directed by Bruce Beresford
Produced by Double Head, Australian Film Commission
A raucous, character-driven ensemble comedy about a group of friends navigating desire, disappointment, and social friction during a single election night.
On the night of the 1969 federal election, Don Henderson invites a group of friends to celebrate a predicted Labor Party victory, much to the dismay of his wife, Kath. The Hendersons and their nine guests drink, joke, make love, and fight, all while coming to terms with their individual struggles in life.
