Lord of the fleas down under where men are boys and women scarcer than kangaroos. Horror of self-discovery for British lost soul working as teacher (a God-forsaken job in any place) in woop-woop, where the students are so bored that at least they lack the energy to misbehave.. No escaping his lot he plunges deep into ockerism and comes out clean of his snobbery and finally dead content in the classroom. In my view he did it on purpose to escape the clutches of his girl in Sydney ... But what a middle age he has to look forward to.
An unforgettable film with image, music and performances coming together brilliantly.
