2 editions published in 2010 in English and held by 1,343 libraries worldwide A holocaust has destroyed the world. Civilization lies in ruins. Nothing grows. The Man and his young son, the Boy, struggle across the devastated, post-apocalyptic landscape, pushing their belongings in a shopping cart, hoping to reach the coast. It is almost impossible to find any food. Life on the road is a deadly game of hide, seek, and devour with bloodthirsty bands of roving, starving, survivalist types, many of whom have fallen into cannibalism. The Man carries the curse of remembering the world as it once was, while for the Boy, the world has always been destroyed, any intimation that life was once different is foreign to his existence. Love--of the Man and Boy for each other--is the one testament to a humanity that remains, even in the face of total chaos.

Australian cinema : prisons
(
Visual
)
in English and held by 1 library worldwide Two prison films made nearly a decade apart both portray raw institutionalised violence but otherwise have little in common. Stir is a realist protest drama based on the infamous Bathurst prison riot and its aftermath. The nihilism of Ghosts -- of the Civil Dead with 'the postmodern colour scheme ... the highly worked music and sound-effect design ... is part of (an) aesthetic of pain' which challenges the very notion of social protest. The 'new generation' prison is meant to be seen as co-extensive with the outside world not in isolation from it. more
