You must see this film. Speaking of cats, at one stage he wraps the cat in glad-wrap kills it and spends much time with it subsequently.

BAD BOY BUBBY
Nicholas Hope, Claire Benito, Carmel Johnson, Rachael Huddy
Directed by Rolf De Heer

Channel surfing with a film student pal one evening, I came across the unlikely sight of an apparently mentally retarded man shagging his mum. Checking that, yes, I was awake, and no, this wasn’t Channel Five, I carried on watching. What unfolded was one of the most touching stories that I have ever seen. Bad Boy Bubby is the story of a full-grown man, infantilised and completely cut off from the outside world, with no friends except a dead cat wrapped in clingfilm, and an overbearing mother that would don a gas mask to go down the shops. After ten minutes exploring Bubby’s claustrophobic cosmos, the story gets underway after he accidentally kills his parents (via the trusty clingfilm method), and leaves his claustrophobic world behind for the very first time. Bad Boy Bubby sort of fits into the same “feral child” genre as Nell – although Nell never robs a petrol station with a foetid cat in a suitcase and a bit of mimicked police brutality – and follows the naïve manchild as he wanders from situation to situation. Manipulated, accepted and rejected by many different people along the way, Bubby accepts everybody at face value, rather like a child or a puppy, and his utter lack of complexity is a lot of fun to watch.
