bad boy bubby (1993)
"Jesus can see everything I do... and he's going to beat me brainless!
Bubby (Nicholas Hope) is a sort of retarded shut in, due to his mother locking him in the house for thirty years. But when his father returns Bubby kills them both and is released upon and trying to make sense of the world. He finds a home of sorts with a rock band, and finds fame and attention as their 'singer' as he mimics everything that others say or do.
A strange one this, reflecting on society through the eyes and ears of an outsider, which is at times disturbing and unsettling, and blackly comic.
