I might have been championing Lantana by lending out my DVD copy to anyone willing to give a chance to a great atmospheric piece of Aussie cinema and despite international kudos, the film’s director Ray Lawrence had the most difficult time financing his follow-up project. After showing to mixed reviews at last year’s Telluride & Toronto International Film Festival, finally Jindabyne makes it to theatres. Sony Pictures Classics releases the picture on April 27th in limited release.
Written by Beatrix Christian, this is an adaptation of a Raymond Carver short story set in Australia. Stewart Kane, an Irishman living in the Australian town of Jindabyne, is on a fishing trip in isolated hill country with three other men when they discover the body of a murdered girl in the river. Rather than return to the town immediately, they continue fishing and report their gruesome find days later. Stewart's wife Claire is the last to find out. The pic stars Gabriel Byrne and Laura Linney. Check out the trailer below.
