High Life
Directed by Gary Yates
A darkly comedic crime caper about two junkies reuniting in 1980s Australia to pull off an armored car heist, balancing humor with the grim realities of addiction.
It's 1983, and hopeless junkie Dick gets an unwelcome visit from the past - his seriously sleazy former cellmate, Bug, to be precise. Bug requires a crash course in the 80s: different music, different drugs, and machines in walls that dispense money. The latter development gives Dick an idea.
