About The City's Edge
In an effort to come to terms with his father's death, a young man (Weaving) moves into a rooming house amidst the decaying grandeur of Bondi Beach, where he gets enmeshed in the lives of the other boarders, including a junkie, his sister, and an Aboriginal activist.
Directed by Ken Quinnell, The City's Edge leans on a strong ensemble — Hugo Weaving, Tom E. Lewis, Mark Lee — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1983.
