Review of Lantana (2001) by Pedro P — 25 Jan 2008
Fine, fine filmmaking. The kind of psychological thriller that emphasizes the psychology over the thrills. A smart, affecting and heart-twisting film. Try to picture American Beauty crossbred with Ingmar Bergman's Scenes From a Marriage and transposed down under, except with a sublime sense of tragedy and surprising reserves of passion.
Just like Bergman's life work, it's a remarkable and unforgettable study in human relationships and the human condition itself. An exceptionally good Australian picture.
