4K RESTORATION. The girls night out to end them all. Four friends roar out of Newtown into the pool rooms, drag shows and bars of the Cross before crash landing in Bondi. It’s the night before Karli goes to New York and the lives of this tight night group are changing forever. GOING DOWN is set against the bright lights and dark underbelly of Sydney at it’s most beautiful, when there was a band in every pub and the Cross was a circus.
MUSIC: Randy Newman, James Reyne, Nick Cave, New Christs, PelMel, Dynamic Hepnotics, James Black.
Reviews: “...while Going Down has all the wit and inventiveness that tempt a critic to call it the best Australian film in years, its basic strength is a riotous realism that should appeal to youth audiences in droves.” Meaghan Morris Australian Financial Times
“Going Down is a sharp smart poem to those clinging on the underside of Sydney”.
