Description
The Nightingale is a 2018 Australian historical psychological thriller film written and directed by Jennifer Kent. The film stars Aisling Franciosi, Sam Claflin, Baykali Ganambarr, Damon Herriman, Harry Greenwood, Ewen Leslie, Charlie Shotwell, and Michael Sheasby. Set in 1825 in Van Diemen's Land, it follows a young Irish convict (Franciosi) seeking vengeance against the English lieutenant (Claflin) who raped her and the soldiers who murdered her husband and daughter. She is aided by an Aboriginal tracker (Ganambarr), who seeks to avenge the genocide of his people. In addition to being filmed in English and Irish, it is the first motion picture to be filmed in palawa kani.
The Nightingale premiered at the 75th Venice International Film Festival on 6 September 2018, where it was nominated for the Golden Lion and won the Special Jury Prize, while Ganambarr won the Marcello Mastroianni Award. The film was theatrically released in Australia on 29 August 2019 to widespread acclaim, with particular praise for the performances of the cast, cinematography, writing, visual style, and acknowledgement of racial violence in Australia, though it generated controversy over its graphic portrayal of rape and murder.
