Pub: The Movie

About This Movie

Pub: The Movie dives into the chaotic life of Fred Negro, an Australian cartoonist and punk rocker with a penchant for the outrageous. The documentary captures the raw energy of the St Kilda music scene—think gritty performances, punk ethos, and the rise of legends like Nick Cave. It's not just about the music, but also how art and rebellion intertwine. The pacing meanders, almost like a jam session, showcasing Fred's life, his controversial band I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVY, and the impact of his PUB cartoon strip. There's a distinct DIY vibe to it all, with practical effects that feel authentic, much like the underground scene it chronicles. A true exploration of creativity unshackled by convention.
