Hier der neue Trailer zum australischen Serienkillerfilm „Snowtown“, der auf den tatsächlichen Ereignissen um die Snowtown Murderers basiert: „The Snowtown murders, also known as the Bodies in Barrels murders, were the murders of 12 people in South Australia, Australia between August 1992 and May 1999. The crimes were uncovered when the remains of eight victims were found in barrels of acid located in a rented former bank building in Snowtown, South Australia on 20 May 1999.“ Sieht wahnsinnig gut aus.
The shadow of the Snowtown murders still looms large, raising questions about the violence that can explode out of forgotten communities in Australian society. 16-year-old Jamie is a kid from the northern suburbs who desperately needs a father figure. What he gets instead is John Bunting, a charismatic figure who condenses all the hatred and grievance in our culture and then unleashes it in a cold fury. Justin Kurzel’s debut feature marks the arrival of a major filmmaking talent.
He has made a film as starkly confronting as it is beautifully controlled, with consistently fine performances from a local cast of mainly first-time actors. In the style of The Boys or Samson & Delilah, it is a film of silences that cut deep; it evokes the Dardenne brothers through its ability to lay the brutality of life before us with a power born of simplicity. Snowtown will resonate with you long after you leave the cinema.

hui. der trailer hat mich ja mal in den sitz gepresst. nicht schlecht. wenn sie es in dem film schaffen, die spannung auch so zu transportieren, dann wird der echt gut. vielleicht haben sie es ja sogar geschafft, die gewalt szenen selbst weg zu lassen und nur genau so angedeutet wie im trailer. das wär mal was… man muß ja nicht alles sehen…
