Today, we take a little detour from our series dedicated to exploring witches onscreen to bring you a bonus episode about the new film by director Jennifer Kent, The Nightingale, released in UK cinemas today.
The first part of the episode features special guest Tara Judah, Watershed's Cinema Producer, to discuss the film and how it portrays the pain, anger and injustice of Australian history. Watch Tara's video essay on Kent’s intention and the influence of the coverage of the film on its reception.
In the second part of the episode you’ll hear my interview Aisling Franciosi, who plays Clare, to discuss her role, working with Jennifer Kent and the responsibility of portraying trauma.
The Nightingale is released in UK cinemas and on digital today. You can watch the trailer here.
