ADELAIDE PREMIERE
BroNson (MA15+)
Dir: Nicolas Winding Refn
UK 2008 92mins 35mm
Michael Gordon Peterson a.k.a. Charles Bronson; bare-knuckle boxer, armed robber, award winning poet and Britain’s most violent criminal. With 35 years spent in prison, 31 of them in solitary, and a history of violent outbursts and hostage incidents like no other, Bronson takes us on a wild ride through the exploits of a man institutionalised for so long he becomes subsumed by his own tough guy persona. Possibly the decade’s most scathing indictment of celebrity culture, Bronson is Chopper Read eating A Clockwork Orange and spitting the pips out at Ken Russell.
