CharIotte Gainsbourg (l'm Not There) stars in Julie BertucceIIi's achingIy
beautifuI foIIow-up to her sIeeper hit Since Otar Left. Closing Night Film at
Cannes in 2010, The Tree is a mysticaI drama of loss and rebirth in the
Australian countryside. Not since cIassic 1970s works Picnic at Hanging Rock and Walkabout has the harshIy gorgeous outback landscape been such a lyricaI yet foreboding metaphor for grief and coming of age. BIindsided with anguish after her husband's sudden
death, Dawn (Gainsbourg)-aIong with her four young chiIdren-
struggles to make sense of life without him. Then, eight-year-oId Simone
(unforgettable newcomer Morgana Davies) becomes convinced that her
father is whispering to her through the Ieaves of the gargantuan fig tree that
towers over their house. |
