Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaIFC Films has acquired Justin Kurzel’s “Nitram,” a searing drama about a mass killing that debuted at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, where it won a best actor prize for Caleb Landry Jones.The film will have a hybrid release. It will premiere in theaters on March 30, 2022, while also debuting day and date on AMC Plus, AMC Networks’ streaming service.

The Australian Academy Of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) has crowned its winners for 2021, with Justin Kurzel’s Nitram scooping the Best Film award among eight total prizes.

The BFI London Film Festival has confirmed an eight-strong lineup for its Official Competition this year. The movies are:

Though “Nitram” never depicts the unspoken horrific massacre that its protagonist commits, the entire film queasily pulses in the anxious anticipation of the unspeakable event. It’s not an easy film to watch, knowing what’s coming but remaining completely powerless, not unlike watching a car crash in motion and being unable to stop it.

As the Cannes Film Festival draws near to a close, Justin Kurzel sat down to field a series of questions about his Palme d’Or contender Nitram, a deeply disturbing retelling of the events leading up to the 1996 Port Arthur Massacre in Tasmania, Australia.

Filmmaker Justin Kurzel hit a little bit of a speed bump in his rise as a filmmaker when his first major blockbuster, “Assassin’s Creed,” failed to live up to expectations. However, the filmmaker rebounded quite well a couple of years later with “True History of the Kelly Gang,” which showed Kurzel’s true style and talent once again.

It was ten years ago that Justin Kurzel’s debut feature Snowtown became one of the most talked about films at the Cannes Film Festival when it played in Critics’ Week that year. Critics and buyers alike praised the Australian filmmaker’s distinct, hard-to-watch psychological thriller based on infamous serial killer John Bunting, a story starkly familiar with Australians but one that many international audiences had only just been introduced to.
