Isabelle Cornish Vicki as Vicki. Ellie Gall Raquel as Raquel. Jack Horsley Straccy as Straccy. Pearl Herbert Kim as Kim. Imogen Banks John Edwards. More like this. Watch options. Storyline Edit. Puberty Blues is an Australian classic which chronicles a special moment of our history.
In the early s, the middle baby boomers were coming into their adolescence and early adulthood. The sexual revolution was in full flow. In America "teenagerdom" had come into its own in the sixties. It happened here in the seventies, with the arrival of drugs and the anti-Vietnam fed youth rebellion. And the wild mood finds its apotheosis in surf culture.
Puberty Blues is a picture of Australian suburban life in revolution as the wild kids get their rocks off, exploring the worlds of the parents in a context where money and loans are much cheaper, divorce is much easier, full employment and prosperity abound, conventional morality is shifting and everything is endlessly possible.

We were only nineteen…actually, I was eighteen. That was a real head spin, and a little bit scary too.
Its dialogue is quoted, its characters fondly recalled, and its sun-crusted imagery even reproduced on surf clothing. Though not blessed with the kind of critical glow afforded films like Picnic At Hanging Rock or The Chant Of Jimmie Blacksmith , Puberty Blues reverberates in a down-and-dirty way that those films never could.
Someone else will want me to say their favourite line of dialogue for them. The release of the DVD only increased the amount of people who insist on singing the theme song to me…eeek! Hell, I had chin hairs! I look back on the film with pride, and amazement really, that it turned out so well. The experience was dreadful. It was like seeing my own children raped by Cossacks. Bruce Beresford, on the other hand, is a little further removed from the cult that surrounds Puberty Blues.
When FilmInk interviewed him several years ago when the film was first released on DVD, he was a jumble of half-remembered truths and faded memories. Everything has changed so much since we did the film. I can remember it of course, but not in great detail.
What for? What would be the point? This, of course, begs the question: are teenagers a lot different today, or are they essentially not too far away from the protagonists in the film? I certainly hope so. Kathy Lette sees even less change.
She looked at ten minutes of Breaker Morant and turned it off! She thought it was rubbish. One of the best movie-to-TV transitions ever created, Puberty Blues drilled deep into the bleached sand of its source material and came up with narrative and thematic gold. Puberty Blues…the TV series. Kathy Lette, meanwhile, also happily threw herself into the surf once again.
After nearly thirty years, she returned to the hot sand and crystalline waves of Cronulla with her novel, To Love, Honour And Betray — Till Divorce Us Do Part , which is about a beachside mum thrown into a spin when her husband leaves her.
I thought that it would be fascinating to look at the whole puberty ordeal from the other end of the telescope.
