It’s three decades old.) with a young cast led by Aden Young, Ben Mendelsohn, Tara Morice and Nadine Garner drawn into a wild world of drag racing, sex and satanism in Melbourne’s western suburbs.

Aden Young works between Australia, the US and Canada in TV and film. Tara Morice and Nadine Garner are renowned theatre actors, and the latter has starred in hit ABC television drama,“It sounds like a long time ago, but I remember it very clearly,” she says, conceding that she hasn’t seen it since it was released. “It was such an exciting film to work on.
