A blindly idealistic Australian Communist believes so fervently in the Revolution that she writes weekly love letters to Joseph Stalin, conceives his child (or so she believes), and raises a son in the tradition of iron-fisted tyranny. A scathing, idiosyncratic satire of ideological zealotry in general, comprising straight narrative, newsreels and archival footage, and farcical comedy. [More]

  • Children Of The Revolution
  • This outrageous comedy won outstanding critical acclaim for its wild humor and award-winning cast of stars! After a mad, passionate fling on a whirlwind trip to Moscow, party girl Joan Fraser (Judy Davis -- ABSOLUTE POWER) returns home pregnant. And when little Joe is born, everyone wonders who "Daddy" is! Soon, the ball starts rolling on a hilarious sequence of events that includes a clueless husband (Academy Award(R)-winner Jeffrey Rush, Best Actor -- SHINE), a lovesick double agent (Sam Neill -- JURASSIC PARK), and even Joseph Stalin (Academy Award(R)-winner F. Murray Abraham, Best Actor -- AMADEUS). Get ready for nonstop laughs in the madcap, all-star comedy that takes a wild look at the ultimate party animals!
