Peter Weir’s unsettling tale of handyman horror introduces a chatty plumber who arrives uninvited at the home of two bookish intellectuals and proceeds to tear their bathroom to pieces.
A treasure of the Australian New Wave, this claustrophobic film unpacks power, class and psychological control.
‘Mr. Weir's point here, as it has been in other films, is that the line dividing civilized behavior from more primitive kinds is so thin as to be nonexistent.’ – The New York Times
Available as a 7-film Peter Weir Spotlight pass
