Awarded the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival, Bad Boy Bubby, with its hard-hitting content of deprivation, mental illness and incest, shocked its audiences to become one of the most daring and controversial cult films of the 1990s.

Nicholas Hope gives a captivating performance as Bubby, a demented man-child kept locked for his entire life in a squalid apartment by his depraved mother who uses him for sex. When Bubby who can only communicate by mimicking what others say and do, escapes into the outside world, he soon discovers young women, crime, rock'n'roll, and pizza. Will this naive ‘mad bastard' be destroyed by the realities of our cruel world, or does a higher calling ultimately await him in the most unlikely place of all?

Dismissed by many and regarded with some loathing by some, the film nevertheless had its share of enthusiastic supporters from the off, including British director Mike Leigh, who selected it as half of his Double-Take choice for screening on Film Four and provided his own enthusiastic introduction.
