Q&A session with Simon Rumley and Bob Portal after Friday 23 Sep screening at 10:30pm

This stunning, complex and original psychological drama opens with a mostly dialogue-free portrait of promiscuity and disaffection, but steadily evolves into a thought-provoking revenge tragedy and culminates in Shakespearian levels of violence. The story's heavy reliance on coincidence and irony can be easily overlooked in light of the powerfully sympathetic characters, in particular the soft-spoken warhorse Nate (Taylor) and Erica (Fuller), an uptight, loose woman with a ghastly hidden agenda. Completing the triangle of core performances is Marc Senter's Franki, a rock star wannabe whose mother is dying of cancer. It's hard to understand at first how three such disparate individuals could be brought together, but as events provoke a series of shocking character revelations, feelings of foreboding set in and we begin to glimpse the 'barren rage of death's eternal cold'.
