25 YEAR ANNIVERSARY SCREENING
Graduating from Heartbreak High with distinction, Alex Dimitriades burned up the screen as a small-time drug dealer and big-time hot mess Ari in Ana Kokkinos’ seminal Melbourne story. A high-spirited adaptation of The Slap author Christos Tsiolkas’ free-wheeling debut novel Loaded, it depicts the Greek Australian teen pushing back against parental expectation, class boundaries and ethnic stereotypes in a self-destructive, sure, but take no prisoners break for freedom. All James Dean smoulder, as he traverses the city in search of a good time, it’s an irresistible performance matched toe-to-toe by living legend Paul Capsis as his fearless drag queen buddy Toula. Let it all hang loose as they spin from the late, great 3 Faces nightclub to a confronting police lock-up scene. All the while, Kokkinos burns an indelible mark on the Australian cinematic landscape.
