Children of the Revolution
A red comedy about the ultimate party animals.
A darkly comic, absurdist satire that traces political dysfunction back to a mother-son relationship rooted in Cold War ideology and personal chaos.
A man (Richard Roxburgh) the Australian government blames for 1990s political woes blames his mother (Judy Davis), a communist Stalin seduced in 1951.
