Overview
Directed by Ian White, Mutiny in Heaven is the story of The Birthday Party’s ascent, apex and inevitable collapse is a thrilling tale of epic struggle, artistic genius and total dysfunctionality. Told in the group’s own words, Mutiny in Heaven brings the band’s story to the screen for the first time. This is a twisted tale of ascent, realisation and implosion while dealing with issues of artistic muse, creativity, addiction, fame, interpersonal conflict and the unique relationship between creative vision and self-destruction — all underpinned by the dark, wry humour of the individual band members.
