The Weekend from Hell: A Scathing Satire of Australia's Elite The Birthday Trip, the debut feature from writer director cinematographer James Robert Woods, is a biting satire that cuts to the very core of Australia's upper middle class elite.
On its surface, it appears to be a tale of friendship and camaraderie gone awry, but beneath lies a scathing commentary on the social hierarchies that govern our lives. Woods' film is not for the faint of heart.
It's a no holds barred examination of relationships between friends and partners, with all their attendant insecurities, petty squabbles, and outright duplicity.
