Originally released in 1971, the original prints for Wake in Fright were considered lost for decades until editor Anthony Buckley discovered them in an American film studio and saved them only days before being scheduled for destruction.

One of only two films ever to screen twice in the history of the Cannes Film Festival, and holding a 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, director Martin Scorsese has said:

"Wake in Fright is a deeply -- and I mean deeply -- unsettling and disturbing movie. I saw it when it premiered at Cannes in 1971, and it left me speechless. Visually, dramatically, atmospherically and psychologically, it's beautifully calibrated and it gets under your skin one encounter at a time".

Anthony Buckley takes us through his life in cinema, answering questions related to the craft, and discusses why he considers Wake in Fright the best film ever made in Australia.
