The Nightingale

Published on August 21st, 2019

Thanks to our friends at Transmission we have five in-season double passes to give away to The Nightingale. The film is an Australian period thriller film written, co-produced, and directed by Jennifer Kent. Set in 1825 in the British penal colony of Van Diemen’s Land the film follows a young convict woman seeking revenge for a terrible act of violence committed against her family. It stars Aisling Franciosi, Sam Claflin, Baykali Ganambarr, and Damon Herriman.

Here’s a brief synopsis: 

In Tasmania in 1825, Clare, a 21-year-old Irish convict (Aisling Franciosi), is brutally raped and witnesses the murder of her husband and baby by Hawkins (Sam Claflin), a British officer, and his cronies. Unable to find justice, she takes Billy (Baykali Ganambarr), an Aboriginal tracker, with her through the hellish wilderness to seek revenge on the soldiers, and gets much more than she bargained for.
