Big Risk

About This Movie

So, 'Big Risk' is this fascinating little gem from 1978 that emerged from the depths of Mark Zenner’s belongings after he passed. It’s a raw dive into the Australian punk scene that really captures the energy and chaos of the time. The editing is razor sharp—like, you can feel the pulse of the music in every cut. Collage techniques bring these punk bands to life in a way that's both chaotic and engaging. It’s not just a documentary; it’s an experience. You get this palpable sense of rebellion, and the atmosphere is thick with the grit of the era. A true slice of punk culture that feels so alive even today. Definitely has its own vibe, if you know what I mean.

'Big Risk' is quite rare and not widely circulated, making it a unique find for collectors. It's mainly available in VHS and some digital formats, but the original tapes are becoming scarce. This film doesn't pop up often at conventions or in online marketplaces, so when it does, it garners interest from those who appreciate its underground roots and the raw documentary style. The scene it documents is one that has left a lasting impression, so there's a certain allure surrounding this film for anyone into the evolution of punk music.
