Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

5. Wake In Fright

Oh my god, I fucking love this film. My husband [Steven Sheil] runs this horror film festival, Chris Cooke storyline – good-looking man loses all his money and ends up completely fucked. I love that descent into crazy, how one small action can lead to all this. It looks phenomenal, they have kangaroo fighting, Donald Pleasence is a crazy man in it – but I mainly love the idea that one small moment after another can culminate in a clusterfuck of despair, it is just brilliant.
