Going down

"Summary: A searing vision of a Sydney rarely seen by tourists but one that is just below the surface. A cult hit in the late 1970's, this film has been described by Philip Adams as one of the ten best made in this country. It is the story of four young women on the town the night before one of them goes to New York. Their adolescence, their group and their future are breaking up."

"This film employs what Meaghan Morris describes as 'riotous realism' in following four young women through a boozy, brawling night on a quest for something that they are unlikely to find or even recognise. The narrative, 'a kind of inner city Midsummer Nights Dream', becomes more feverish and unreal as the night moves on. In place of generic definition or consistency of style the film substitutes 'the chaotic movement of characters who are linked with a dispersed but obscurely coherent cultural milieu'."
"A group of young people struggling to survive in Sydney while experiencing its night life and indulging in drugs."@en
