The Sundance Film Festival selection STRANGERLAND, directed by Kim Farrant, looks like a pretty stylish thriller with a great cast. What I love most about the trailer is it doesn’t give too much away, just tells you things are gonna be tense – and I’m all for going into a film not knowing what all to expect. The cast includes Nicole Kidman, Joseph Fiennes, Hugo Weaving, Lisa Flanagan, Meyne Wyatt, and Maddison Brown. Take a look and see what you think.
Newly arrived to a remote desert town, Catherine (Nicole Kidman) and Matthew (Joseph Fiennes) are tormented by suspicion when their two teenage children mysteriously vanish into a dust storm.
