The Breakfast Club (Criterion Bd-Std-1)
-
Blu-ray
A$64.99
What happens when you put five strangers in Saturday detention? Badass posturing, gleeful misbehaviour, and a potent dose of angst. With this exuberant film, writer-director JOHN HUGHES (Sixteen Candles) established himself as the bard of American youth, vividly and empathetically capturing how teenagers hang out, act up, and goof off.
The Breakfast Club brings together an assortment of adolescent archetypes - the uptight prom queen (Pretty in Pink's MOLLY RINGWALD), the stoic jock (Repo Man's EMILIO ESTEVEZ), the foul-mouthed rebel (New Jack City's JUDD NELSON), the virginal bookworm (Edward Scissorhands's ANTHONY MICHAEL HALL), and the kooky recluse (High Art's ALLY SHEEDY)- and watches them shed their personae and emerge into unlikely friendships.
With its highly quotable dialogue and star-making performances, this film is an eradefining pop-culture phenomenon, a disarmingly candid exploration of the trials of adolescence whose influence now spans generations.
