The Rage in Placid Lake
Precocious, bohemian teenager Placid Lake finishes high school and decides to do the one thing that will annoy his new age parents the most - go straight! A few weeks with a library of self-help manuals and Placid has it sorted - and he has the haircut and the cheap suit to prove it. Can Placid Lake retire his rage in the pursuit of beige; embrace conformity and leap on the fast track to corporate success. Will his brainiac friend Gemma be able to talk him out of this economic rationalist madness? And will poor Doug and Sylvia survive the ignominy of having a son with a burgeoning future in insurance? A razor-sharp wit lurks beneath a blanket of pastel hued, middle-class suburbia in Tony McNamara's blackly comedic "The Rage in Placid Lake", filmed in glorious 'Geek-o-rama'. Voted most popular film at the 2003 Melbourne International Film Festival. With Ben Lee, Rose Byrne, Garry McDonald and Miranda Richardson.
