(Justin Kurzel / Australia / 2011 / 119 minutes / Certificate 18)
Based on the career of Australia's most notorious serial killer; John Bunting - Snowtown is at points so monstrous it is hard to watch. Made all the more chilling by the close interaction the murderer plays with his victims. Following a sexual assault in a young child’s life, this story tells of how young vulnerable adolescents can be lead astray by an unfortunate father figure. In a tale of revenge, bigotry and deep hatred, drawing in unaware and vulnerable assailants with the desire to impress lies deeply ingrained throughout. Having been championed at Cannes as a real contender, Director Justin Kurzel’s latest release follows the gritty Australian realism genre, becoming ever more prevalent in contemporary Australian film exports and being championed the world over.
