Lantana

I remember thinking, when I first saw this - which must have been about ten years ago, it having been when the film first came out, and this more recent viewing being a tenth anniversary showing at ACMI - that I really liked it, and that I was almost certainly too young too fully appreciate it. Now, ten years on, I feel the same way - this is a wonderfully well-made, carefully crafted and truthful film that I think would gain another layer altogether for viewers who were long-term married, and intimately familiar with all that the film suggests comes with the state.

Followed by a Q&A with Kerry Armstrong, Vince Colosimo and producer Jan Chapman.
