Metal Skin [Blu-ray]

Burn rubber with Umbrella's NEW restoration for the first time on Blu-ray of the fast and furious thrill-ride METAL SKIN. From director Geoffrey Wright (Romper Stomper) and featuring early performances from Ben Mendelsohn (Rogue One, Animal Kingdom) and Aden Young (Rectify, The Unseen) METAL SKIN is a full throttle, nihilistic ode to suburban hopelessness. Following his widely acclaimed Romper Stomper, Geoffrey Wright again takes us to the lower depths of Generation X in a fractured society with this criminally underrated action-romance-satanic-thriller. In the gritty neglected suburbs of western Melbourne, a group of disillusioned youths navigate the harsh realities of their bleak existence. "Psycho" Joe (Young) is an awkward misfit steeped in solitude and isolation, until he starts a new job at a local supermarket. Here he meets local Don Juan, the charming and irresponsible Dazey (Mendelsohn), Dazey's beautiful and traumatised girlfriend Robyn (Nadine Garner) and Dazey-obsessed satanist Savina (Tara Morice, Strictly Ballroom). Tensions rise as the group grapple with their desires, dreams, and the harsh truths of their world, leading an increasingly lonely and desperate Joe to reach his boiling point.
