The Devil's Playground

This Australian film classic by Fred Schepisi is a semi-autobiographical drama of a 13-year-old boys struggles at a Catholic seminary in the 1950s. Tom (Simon Burke) is a student gripped with Catholic guilt as he struggles with his nascent sexual yearning and his divine calling. A lyrical, mordantly funny memory film about the age-old struggles of mind, body and spirit.
