Dogs in Space

1986 · 103 min Drama Music
5.7 / 10 · TMDB

The place is Melbourne, Australia 1978. The punk phenomenon is sweeping the country and Dogs In Space, a punk group, are part of it. In a squat, in a dodgy suburb, live a ragtag collection of outcasts and don't-wanna-bes who survive on a diet of old TV space films, drugs and good music. And the satellite SKYLAB could crash through their roof at any moment...

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a raw, immersive snapshot of a subculture, relying on frenetic energy and a killer punk soundtrack rather than a conventional plot. It explores the chaotic, drug-fueled inertia of youth on the fringes, where rebellion has no clear direction.

What lingers after the final chord fades is the sense of a specific, grimy time and place, preserved in all its anarchic glory and profound aimlessness. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Richard Lowenstein

🕯️

Best Watched

Watch loud, late, and in a state of agreeable disarray. A communal, bleary-eyed experience is recommended.
