Somersault - Cate Shortland (Australia, 2004, 1h 46m)
Details
“Heartfelt, painful, exhilarating, and, above all, truthful.”
—The San Francisco Chronicle
“Shortland paints a collage of regret: evocative snapshots of what might be; gritty footage of what is. Her cast is bursting with promise.”
–The Times (UK)
“Cornish’s is the most goddamn, gosh-wow debut I’ve seen in years.”
—The Austin Chronicle
Long before Hollywood came calling, Cate Shortland, Abbie Cornish, and Sam Worthington made their names in this deeply affecting coming-of-age story, sensitively attuned to the ache of growing up. A little gem, “frank and visceral, exuding an unexpected innocence” (The Los Angeles Times). New 4K restoration.
-- Write-up by the Austin Film Society
