Great Social Problem
Paraphrasing what Tom Wolfe wrote many years ago, acting bored is a sure way to look cool. Dogs in Space stars Michael Hutchence who, according to the NSW coroner, took his own life on November 22, 1997 at the Ritz Hotel, Double Bay. It got me thinking about suicide and depression in general. The film acts as a site of intersection for various ways the events of suicide and depression are repeated — in song, film, history, ‘real life’, etc. Depression is one of the great social problems of the contemporary era.
