Director Justin Kurzel has crafted a filmography built on exploring the impact of trauma and violence on a nation. Whether it be his excoriating debut film Snowtown or the acts of cautionary storytelling with Nitram and The Order, Kurzel's work questions how violence and trauma lingers in our bodies, our minds, and in our lands. That's a notion that he explores with impressive strength with his first foray into documentary filmmaking, Ellis Park.There's catharsis in Ellis Park, partially because of Warren Ellis and his healing violin, but – as the man says himself – his presence is minimal compared to the presence of Femke and the conservationists. Yet, when paired with Kurzel and editor Nick Fenton, they collectively bring light to a horrifying trade that scars the environment. I'm shaken by Ellis Park because of its presentation of trauma, but equally so for its depiction of empathy, consideration, and support.This is, oddly, my first time talking to Justin Kurzel. Having listened to and read countless interviews by him, I was aware that I would be engaging with someone who is a deeply empathetic soul, yet I was still left disarmed by his connection to his openness about his connection to his work, his family, and to the art of cinema.To support the film, Warren Ellis and Justin Kurzel will be running Q&A sessions around the nation. All of the details are in the show notes, but make sure to pick up tickets in advance when the film kicks off with a virtual Q&A with Warren Ellis at Perth's Luna Leederville cinemas on 5 June, concluding with a Sydney Film Festival and Vivid Sydney exclusive event on 8 June at the State Theatre. Ellis Park then releases wide across Australia on 12 June 2025.The Ellis Park sanctuary is part of the Jakarta Animal Aid Network, a non-government, non-profit organisation that was established in 2004 to protect Indonesian wildlife, with a focusing on animal cruelty and rescuing animals from the noxious illegal animal trade network.

Son dos de los actores favoritos de Internet. También del cine de autor y ahora de las series. El sueco Alexander Skarsgård regresa a la televisión en 'Matabot', una comedia de ciencia ficción que ya se puede ver en Apple TV+. Y Jacob Elordi, al que descubrimos en 'Euphoria', protagoniza 'El camino estrecho', el drama bélico que dirige Justin Kurzel.
Min 4: THE LAST OF US 2: ¿Final rompedor o interruptus forzado? El cierre de la segunda temporada de The Last of Us ha confirmado lo que se intuía desde sus primeros compases: esta serie no está dispuesta a ofrecer consuelo fácil ni verdades absolutas. La adaptación del videojuego de culto de Naughty Dog vuelve a hacer historia con un final tan polémico como desgarrador, fiel a la narrativa que parte a sus personajes —y al espectador— por dentro. El episodio divide a la audiencia entre quienes celebran su audacia emocional y quienes lo ven como una traición a las expectativas narrativas más convencionales. No hay fan service, no hay justicia tradicional. Solo queda la consecuencia, el precio del odio, el eco del amor perdido. NOTA FINAL EDC RAQUEL HERNÁNDEZ: 3,5 estrellas NOTA FINAL EDC ROBERTO LANCHA: 4 estrellas Min 17: EL CAMINO ESTRECHO (MOVISTAR PLUS) Miniserie de cinco episodios estrenada en Movistar Plus+ y Universal+, basada en la novela homónima de Richard Flanagan, ganadora del Premio Booker en 2014. Dirigida por Justin Kurzel y escrita por Shaun Grant, la serie narra la vida de Dorrigo Evans, un cirujano australiano que, durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, es capturado por los japoneses y obligado a trabajar en la construcción del ferrocarril entre Tailandia y Birmania, conocido como el "ferrocarril de la muerte". La narrativa se desarrolla en tres líneas temporales: antes, durante y después de la guerra, explorando el impacto del conflicto en la vida y la psique del protagonista. Jacob Elordi interpreta a Dorrigo en su juventud, mientras que Ciarán Hinds lo encarna en su vejez. La serie también cuenta con las actuaciones de Odessa Young como Amy, el amor prohibido de Dorrigo, y Simon Baker como el tío de Dorrigo. NOTA EDC: 2,5 estrellas Min 24. LA MEJOR HERMANA (PRIME VIDEO) Basada en la novela homónima de Alafair Burke, la serie está dirigida por Craig Gillespie y Leslie Hope, y protagonizada por Jessica Biel y Elizabeth Banks, quienes también ejercen como productoras ejecutivas. La trama se centra en Chloe Taylor (Biel), una exitosa ejecutiva de medios de comunicación, y su hermana Nicky Macintosh (Banks), una mujer en proceso de recuperación de adicciones. Tras el asesinato del esposo de Chloe, Adam (Corey Stoll), las hermanas se ven obligadas a reunirse y enfrentar secretos familiares ocultos durante mucho tiempo. NOTA EDC: 3'5 estrellas Min 25. DEPT. Q (NETFLIX) Serie de suspense policial recién estrenada en Netflix, basada en las novelas del autor danés Jussi Adler-Olsen. La adaptación, dirigida por Scott Frank (Gambito de dama), traslada la acción a Edimburgo, Escocia, y sigue al inspector Carl Morck (Matthew Goode), un detective brillante pero socialmente complicado, relegado a una unidad de casos sin resolver tras un tiroteo que dejó a su compañero paralítico y a otro agente muerto. Junto a un equipo de inadaptados, Morck se enfrenta a crímenes antiguos mientras lidia con su propio trauma y culpa. NOTA EDC: 4 estrellas Min 32. BSO "FOREVER" (NETFLIX) La banda sonora de la serie Forever destaca por su selección musical ecléctica y emocionalmente resonante, que complementa la narrativa introspectiva de la serie. Compuesta por Daniel Hart, la música original se entrelaza con una cuidada selección de canciones de diversos géneros, creando una atmósfera única que refleja los altibajos de la vida y la muerte.

Brandon & Lorin digest the first two episodes of HBO's The Last of Us. The critically acclaimed second season finds Joel and Ellie at a crossroads just as a new threat rises. Later, the two review Justin Kurzel's The Order starring Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult, and Lorin speaks briefly on Andor season two.
We're back with an episode featuring just Neil and myself discussing a cinematic topic we both are invested in: The crime/heist genre. The core of this chat is an examination of how the structures of the genre intersect with social, racial, and economic contexts in four specific films. Sparked by our shared admiration for Justin Kurzel's The Order, we trace the lineage of socially conscious crime narratives from classic noir to contemporary thrillers. We consider genre cinema's desire to convey a sense of prestige - think of the notion of elevated horror - and revisit some of the core theoretical foundations of genre as a self-contained system, as proposed by thinkers such as Steve Neale and Rick Altman. Then we tackle four films as case studies: The Order (2023) - Justin Kurzel Odds Against Tomorrow (1959) – Robert Wise Collateral (2004) – Michael Mann Widows (2018) – Steve McQueen We analyse how each of these films, in varying ways, deploy genre frameworks to narrate the struggle for power, identity, and survival, and we interrogate the evolving relationship between cinematic pleasure and political subtext.

We're closing the book on our Unfinished Business series by taking a look at the scant romance of Justin Kurzel's 2016 adaptation of the Assassin's Creed video games, starring Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, and a bunch of wasted character actors. Join in as we discuss the way Kurzel adapts the style and structure of the games for film, the punishing seriousness of the tone, and our love of Jeremy Irons. Plus: What was the plan for the sequels? Can you put a baby in the animus? What does anyone actually want in this movie? And, most importantly, is Cats the ultimate video game movie?

Welcome to the Cinema Australia Podcast. In this episode I'm joined by Charles Williams to discuss Inside, a prison drama starring Guy Pearce, Cosmo Jarvis, Tammy MacIntosh and newcomer, Vincent Miller whose name you should make note of because you're going to hear a lot more from this impressive young actor. Here's the synopsis: After being transferred from juvenile to adult prison, Mel (Vincent Miller) is taken under the wing of both Mark (Cosmo Jarvis), Australia's most despised criminal, and Warren (Guy Pearce), a soon-to-be-paroled inmate. As a paternal triangle grows between them, we see that even the worst of men have a little bit of good inside that will be their undoing. Charles Williams is an acclaimed Australian film director whose short film All These Creatures won the Cannes Film Festival's Short Film Palme d'Or as well as an AACTA award here at home. Charles grew up in a remote country town in northern Victoria. Since then, his films have gone on to screen at more than 200 of the world's most prestigious festivals. He has also been selected as part of TIFF's Filmmaker Lab, The Golden Globes Filmmaker Residency and is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Inside is Charles' debut feature film. It has a discomforting psychological depth to it reminiscent of the films of Justin Kurzel like Nitram and Snowtown, and Thomas M. Wright's The Stranger. There's nothing familiar about Charles Williams' filmmaking style though. Inside feels completely unique both visually and narratively. Anyway… enjoy.

Love is in the air (for at least one of the films on the docket) in this v. v. romantic instalment of the Movie Squad podcast! For this Valentine's Day special, Breakfast host Pamela Boland presses Tristan Fidler and Lucy Rutherford on their feelings about lurve. Then, Lucy leads a review of the long-awaited Bridget Jones sequel Mad About the Boy, which sees Renee Zellweger's ‘Bridge' choosing between Chiwetel Ejiofor and Leo Woodall. It's now showing in Australian cinemas. Then, lurve takes a backseat as Tristan takes a look at a slightly (okay, a lot) less romantic feature: Justin Kurzel's The Order, starring Jude Law as an FBI agent chasing down a white supremacist movement led by real-life neo-Nazi Bob Matthews (played by Nicholas Hoult). The Order is now streaming in Australia. Stay tuned for a pod-exclusive chat about Lucy and Tristan's favourite film romances. Be sure to tune in to RTRFM every Friday at 7:30am to hear Movie Squad live on Breakfast with Pam! And find out more about Movie Squad's curation of Throwback Thursdays at Joondalup Festival here!

The Order (Prime Video) | Jude Law vs. Nicholas Hoult Trotz überwiegend positiver Kritiken nach der Weltpremiere bei den Filmfestspielen von Venedig im vergangenen Jahr schafft es der Thriller „The Order“ nicht in die Kinos. Stattdessen könnt ihr das neueste Werk von Justin Kurzel – bekannt für Arthouse-Erfolge („Die Morde von Snowtown“) und Blockbuster-Flops („Assassin's Creed“) – seit dem 6. Februar 2025 exklusiv bei Prime Video streamen. Der Film folgt einem FBI-Agenten (Jude Law), der in den frühen 1980er-Jahren gegen eine radikale Bruderschaft ermittelt. Deren charismatischer Anführer (Nicholas Hoult) liefert sich ein riskantes Katz-und-Maus-Spiel mit den Behörden. Doch fesselt das Geschehen wirklich – oder ist es eher ermüdend?

Our second London Film Festival main episode is here, and it's a bumper edition. Dario is in Falmouth visiting Neil, so it's something of a nostalgic live taping from the place where The Cinematologists started. The first film on the agenda is Alex Ross Perry's Pavements, which is a meta-documentary on a mercurial 90s band, Pavement. Neil, with his music film expertise, gives detailed context to the history and mythology of the band, whose cult status is deliberately explored by Ross Perry. It is another film that plays with multiple forms and perspectives and is also an instructive counterpoint to Soundtrack to a Coup d'etat (which we covered in the previous main show). This episode also features an interview with Australian director Justin Kurzel, who previously made the somewhat underrated version of Macbeth with Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard (among an impressive ouvre). His LFF entry this year is a documentary focusing on Australian musician Warren Ellis. The film follows his career but also explores his dedication to a wildlife sanctuary in Sumatra, where rescued trafficked animals are nursed back to health. Dario then discusses the psychological drama Under the Volcano by Polish director Damian Kocur. It tells the story of a middle-class Ukrainian family finishing a holiday in Tenerife just as the war starts. It's another film that keeps the spectre of apocalypse in the background while focusing on the nuances of familial trauma and the ethical decisions they are forced to confront. Finally, Hailey and Ben join us to discuss Elton John: Never Too Late, a look back at the singer-songwriter's huge career in the context of his final concert in North America at Dodger Stadium.

As longtime listeners know, we are quite fond of hardass, Australian movies. There is a unique quality to these bleak, nihilistic movies that really connect to a primal part of your brain and inspire an almost visceral reaction. Necromaniacs joined up with artist and outback movie aficionado Seldon Hunt to give you Mayhem Down Under, our exploration of these grim, violent films. First up, is the classic SNOWTOWN MURDERS, the 2011 hard-as-nails film directed by Justin Kurzel based on the true events that took place in Adelaide, South Australia between 1992 and 1999. Proceed is you dare, this film is not for the faint of heart. Intro: “We Can't be Beaten” – Rose Tattoo Outro: “My Hate is Strong” – Werewolves

The series is produced by Justin Kurzel, Shaun Grant and Nicole O'Donahue, under their newly established production banner Thirdborn. This is a really interesting chat with Lucy and she is very generous with her ability to unpack this series. This series is something that was born out of a real life situation but has inspired a fictitious crime drama that is quite bleak and yet beautiful at the same time. I will talk about how the project was green lighted. What parameters were given and even how they created the young voices and nuances with these characters. We will unpack the darker themes and how Lucy wants people to approach this story. Including survivors of sexual assault. There are so many great actors in this series including Alice and Essie but Lucy will talk about the bravery some of the male actors had during the shoot too. You will find out what is next for Lucy and why female driven stories will always be important to her. There is so much to unpack with Lucy.. So sit back and relax as we unpack the world of the Stan original series exposure!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We return to address some of the nerdier and more bizarre aspects of 2016's Assassin's Creed and the game series that it is based on! We explore the idea of epigenetic memory more closely (or as closely as two artsy dudes who know science-minded people possibly can), consider possibilities for other time periods this series could visit, explore the genuinely weird truth of what's going on with the Macguffins in the AC universe, and finally get around to Joe's fix for this movie. We talk about which of our ancestors we would want to see the experiences of, Jack's head nearly explodes, and we manage to also turn this episode into a love letter to the John Wick films. Join us as we try to make this expensive pseudo-art film a little better.
