Going Down is a 1982 Australian film about young people living in a share house.[2] One writer said of it that "no film I've seen has better captured the chaotic heartbeat of the young sensation-seeker's Sydney."[1]
The film's one-liner reads: "Four women friends leave behind the feral days of youth after a night of uncontrolled excess in inner-city Sydney during the early 1980s."[3]
