Puppy 15*

Puppy Dir: Kieran Galvin | Australia | 2005 | 95 mins | 35mm

Love, drinks, drugs and kidnapping: a unique offbeat romance that twists and turns with thrilling intensity.

Writer-director Kieran Galvin’s debut feature may sound cutesy, but don’t let that fool you – his pitch is jet black.

Alone, drunk and desperate, Liz finds salvation in Aiden, a truck driver who’s not the most balanced individual himself. Skipping his medication, Aiden believes Liz is his estranged wife.

Featuring some of Australia’s brightest young talent on both sides of the camera (Nadia Townsend, Bernard Curry), Puppy defies genre conventions.
