Ray Lawrence's Jindabyne: So Much Pain So Close to Home

Boris Trbic writes on Jindabyne, an adaptation of the Raymond Carver short story So Much Water, So Close to Home. The film deals with the discovery of an unknown, brutally murdered black woman in a river. Trbic's article explores the film by looking at pastoral transcendence and male bonding; the parallel worlds of women and men; the sketchy, unfinished portraits in the film; the Indigenous family as represented in the film; and the performances.
