WAKE IN FRIGHT (original title: OUTBACK) R | 1h 49min | Tragedy, Drama, Thriller, (LGBTQ) | 1971 IMDb: "After a bad gambling bet, a schoolteacher [Gary Bond] is marooned in a town full of crazy, drunk, violent men who threaten to make him just as crazy, drunk, and violent." Philadelphia Gay News: "Wake in Fright has considerable queer subtext. The bar in The Yabba is filled almost exclusively with macho guys; it certainly has the feel of a gay bar. The way the hot, sweaty and often shirtless guys hug and touch each other is both homoerotic and hypnotic. Kotcheff directs the film in a vibrant style that confronts the viewer with many close-ups and much emphasis on male bonding and bodies. (Bond’s full-frontal nudity in his hotel scene is not gratuitous)."
