Rubbings from a Live Man
Filmmaker Florian Habicht ('Kaikohe Demolition', 'Woodenhead') takes veteran performer Warwick Broadhead as his subject matter in this captivating biography that is as eclectic and unusual as the man himself. Broadhead plays himself in the film (naturally enough), but also plays many other characters, including God. Sharp cinematography and Broadhead's unique take on life make this a lucid, funny and even poignant portrait of a dyed-in-the-wool original.
