A few years ago, my really good friend Ben and I sat down, ordered Chinese, and put Snowtown on. By the time food arrived, none of us were hungry, and for the whole duration of the film, we didn’t say a word to each other. Damn, we barely spoke after…
There are some depressing films out there. Then there are some very depressing, extremely depressing, and then there is Snowtown! Based on the “bodies in the barrels” truly horrible, infamous murders, Justin Kurzel’s lens captures and depicts torture and murder like you’ve never seen before – and probably never will. Lacking – deliberately – artistic charisma, Snowtown‘s realism is unsettling as much as it is disturbing, projecting pure, raw violence as it is.
This is not just another film on serial killers. This is Snowtown on serial killers in Australia by Justin Kurzel! Where antiheroes and villains are valued less than dogshit! Where barbarity, savagery, and sadism are at their zenith! Where the “bathtub strangulation”, the “dog and the gun”, and the “brothers fighting” sequences stay imprinted in your brain for aeons!
Congratulations to the actors and actresses for delivering “despicable” amazingly!
You’ve been warned!
P.S. Do I recommend it? Definitely!!!
