It’s taken Australian writer-director Cate Shortland eight years to follow her brilliant debut Somersault, but the unexpected German-language result, Lore, only underlines her status as a talent of rare sensitivity and ambition. Set during the final days of WWII, this adaptation of Rachel Seiffert’s novel The Dark Room is another rites-of-passage story, but what lies ahead for teenage heroine Lore (assured newcomer Saskia Rosendahl) is not just the physical challenge of delivering her four young siblings to their grandma’s house near far-off Hamburg, but the task of surviving when all the certainties drummed into her by fervent Nazi parents are now melting away.
The IFI is delighted to be screening this film until March 14th, and to celebrate its release we have a lovely prize to give away to one lucky winner!
