The True History of the Kelly Gang
NZIFF 2020
AroView: Justin Kurzel (Snowtown, Nitram) directs this adventurous retelling of the Australian story of bushranger and outlaw Ned Kelly, based on Peter Carey’s 2001 novel.
A bold vision that favours a hallucinatory, punk rock spirit over historical retelling, with George MacKay (1917) playing Kelly with the rage of a true anti-hero, as he stages his ultimate, doomed revenge against the colonial constabulary. Russell Crowe also excels in this innovative, postmodern retelling of the outlaw legend.
