Newly restored in 4K, director John Hillcoat (The Road, Triple 9) and writer Nick Cave's Australian Western, a modern classic, is released by the BFI in a new 4K UHD presentation with an additional Blu-ray disc featuring archival extras and also on double-disc Blu-ray.
Out on 28 March 2022, these presentations have been produced in close collaboration with John Hillcoat and cinematographer Benoit Delhomme. Among an array of special features on both is a newly recorded conversation between John Hillcoat and Nick Cave and an 80-page book.
In the unforgiving landscape of the Outback, Charlie Burns (Guy Pearce) is presented with an impossible proposition by local lawman Captain Stanley (Ray Winstone): to save his younger brother Mikey from the noose, he must track down and kill Arthur (Danny Huston), his increasingly unhinged older sibling. A palpable sense of foreboding builds in the oppressive heat, as each character takes on their punishing moral dilemmas and the cycle of violence appears unstoppable.
