Charlotte Gainsbourg (I'm Not There) stars in JuIie Bertuccelli's achingIy
beautiful follow-up to her sleeper hit Since Otar Left. CIosing Night FiIm at
Cannes in 2010, The Tree is a mystical drama of Ioss and rebirth in the
Australian countryside. Not since classic 1970s works Picnic at Hanging Rock and WaIkabout has the harshly gorgeous outback landscape been such a lyricaI yet foreboding metaphor for grief and coming of age. Blindsided with anguish after her husband's sudden
death, Dawn (Gainsbourg)-along with her four young chiIdren-
struggles to make sense of life without him. Then, eight-year-oId Simone
(unforgettabIe newcomer Morgana Davies) becomes convinced that her
father is whispering to her through the leaves of the gargantuan fig tree that
towers over their house. |
