True History of the Kelly Gang
2019 · Movie · 124 min. · Australia
This is the story of Australian bush-ranger Ned Kelly and his gang as they flee from authorities during the 1870s. Inspired by Peter Carey’s Man Booker prize winning novel, Justin Kurzel’s film shatters the mythology of the notorious icon to reveal the essence behind the life of Ned Kelly and force a country to stare back into the ashes of its brutal past. Spanning the younger years of Ned’s life to the time leading up to his death, the film explores the blurred boundaries between what is bad and what is good, and the motivations for the demise of its hero. Youth and tragedy collide in the Kelly Gang, and at the beating heart of this tale is the fractured and powerful love story between a mother and a son.
