Review of B.U.S.T.E.D

B.U.S.T.E.D (1998)
Beautifully acted and photographed. Brutal and uncompromising!
15 October 1999
This gritty, urban saga is not an easy movie to watch but it is such brilliant filmmaking that it will stay with you for a long time.

Inhabited by carefully drawn individuals and acted with a natural but grim reality. The film looks fabulous , the visual version of techno music, all black and shiny and more than a little dangerous. The music is also phenomenal.

This movie has all the makings of a classic tragedy and it delivers! Director Andrew Goth's writing is taut and effective. His direction is wonderfully stylized and enormously potent. And he is absolutely right in the role of Ray, the gentler cousin. David Bowie pops up throughout the film and brings a calming presence to the mayhem. And finally, Goldie, the music sensation is amazing and a very scary guy.
