In Beautiful Kate, Ben Mendelsohn comes back to his remote boyhood home to visit his dying father, Bryan Brown.
The visit stirs memories of his beautiful sister Kate and other family issues that have dogged their relationship over the years.
Filmed in South Australia, the film superbly depicts life deep into the Australian country, the hardships and barren nature of the environment. It is a dark film, slow moving and well acted.
The posters for this film make me think of Bill Henson and his photographs.
ReplyDeleteThis film haunts me, and a very nice soundtracks
