Don's Party (1976)

The 1976 Australian film "Don's Party" is a classic of the New Wave of Australian cinema. Directed by Bruce Beresford, the film follows a group of friends who gather for a party to celebrate the election of the Labor Party. As the night progresses, the partygoers become increasingly intoxicated and the atmosphere becomes increasingly sexual.

The film opens with Don (John Hargreaves) and his wife, Kath (Jeanie Drynan), preparing for the party. As they set up the house, they discuss their expectations for the night, and it quickly becomes clear that they are both hoping for a night of sexual liberation.

The party begins with a few drinks and some lighthearted banter, but as the night progresses, the guests become increasingly intoxicated and the atmosphere becomes increasingly sexual. As the guests become more intoxicated, they begin to engage in flirtatious behavior and sexual innuendo.

At one point, Don and his friend Mal (Ray Barrett) engage in a game of strip poker, which leads to a passionate kiss between the two men. This moment is a powerful example of the film's exploration of male sexuality and the fluidity of sexual desire.

The sexual tension between the guests continues to build throughout the night, culminating in a scene in which Don and his friend Ed (Graham Kennedy) share a passionate kiss. This moment is a powerful example of the film's exploration of male sexuality and the fluidity of sexual desire.

The film ends with Don and Kath reconciling, and the partygoers leaving the house. As they leave, they are all aware of the sexual tension that has been building throughout the night, and the film ends with a sense of liberation and freedom.

"Don's Party" is a powerful exploration of male sexuality and the fluidity of sexual desire. The film's frank and honest depiction of sexual desire is a refreshing reminder of the importance of exploring and expressing our sexuality.
