The movie

Australian cinema hasn’t stayed idle these days, as we can see with Wasted on the Young, a drama of slightly postapocalyptic dimensions. Students are here portrayed in a world without parents, where merrymaking can sometimes take a very tragic turn... Technically sublime, Wasted isn’t far from The Social Network in its formal mastery and contemporary themes. A definite mustsee!
