This week, we discuss the films of Australian director Justin Kurzel.

We briefly talk about Snowtown (2011), Macbeth (2015) and Assassin’s Creed (2016) before going into a more in-depth breakdown of his two most recent films: 2019’s True History of the Kelly Gang and 2021’s Nitram.

True History of the Kelly Gang is an adaptation of the Booker prize-winning novel by Peter Carey. It stars George MacKay as Ned Kelly, the infamous bushranger.

Nitram tells the true story of gunman Martin Bryant in the run-up to the Port Arthur massacre, the 1996 mass shooting which took place in Tasmania.
