Working with screenwriter Shaun Grant for the first time in a decade, director Justin Kurzel (Snowtown, Macbeth) gives us a glimpse into the troubled life of Tasmanian mass murderer, Martin Bryant (aka Nitram).
Becoming increasingly isolated following a series of challenging events, including the breakdown of an unlikely friendship with a retiring heiress, Nitram experiences a psychological meltdown that reaches its apex with a mass shooting.
Crafted with the same creative eye as Kurzel and Grant’s internationally acclaimed debut collaboration, Snowtown, and met with similar levels of critical praise following its premiere at Cannes last year (at which Landry Jones won Best Actor), Nitram promises to disturb and intrigue in equal measure; a haunting character study by one of the most exciting, daring filmmakers working in modern cinema.
