So, 'Against the Grain: More Meat Than Wheat' is this interesting slice of 1981 Australian cinema that dances between comedy and social commentary. The premise is pretty wild—Ray Unit, our main guy, ends up on the run after a stunt on Anzac Day goes completely sideways. It’s got that raw, underground vibe, and the pacing shifts in ways that keep you on your toes. The film’s humor is quite dark; it’s all about how a political act can spiral out of control. You’ll notice the practical effects have a certain charm, not overly polished but effective in delivering the story's absurdity. The performances are a mixed bag but work well with the film’s off-kilter tone. It really captures that era's rebellious spirit in a unique way.
