Snowtown

This Cannes Jury Prize winner is a stark journey into the feral subculture of welfare dependence, addiction, domestic violence, brutality and sexual abuse. Set in Australia, the film is based on a series of horrifying crimes discovered in 1999, when police found dismembered bodies rotting in barrels. Snowtown is an uncompromising film, focused on the relationship between a vulnerable teenager and a father figure who is revealed to be the worst kind of bully.
