It premiered in Australian cinemas on, and had its television premiere on ABC TV on 9 July 2023. The film had its world premiere at the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival on 23 February 2023. Sen wrote the script based on his experience of the town, with its underground dwellings and unusual culture. The film was shot in black and white, partly for technical reasons, but mainly because of the large expanses of white ground at Coober Pedy, which provide a dramatic backdrop. įilming began on 19 August 2022 at Coober Pedy in South Australia. Limbo was produced by Bunya Productions and Windalong Films, with the support of Screen Queensland, South Australian Film Corporation, and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Travis discovers a collection of unpleasant truths, highlighting the intricacies of loss and injustice faced by Aboriginal Australians. In a small Australian outback town Travis Hurley, a detective, comes to investigate a 20-year-old unsolved homicide of an Aboriginal woman. The film had its world premiere in competition at the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival, on 23 February 2023, where it competed for Golden Bear. But in this moment, when audiences are nostalgic for a more recent past, it plays like Zhang's homage to the movies, dedicated to the heroes who may soon return to cinemas.Limbo is a 2023 Australian independent mystery- crime film directed by Ivan Sen and starring Simon Baker, Rob Collins, Natasha Wanganeen and Nicholas Hope. In China, Cliff Walkers is a nostalgic and patriotic tale - dedicated to the heroes of the revolution. All while slipping, sliding and - especially - shooting in a glistening, frigid landscape that would make Dr. Here he revels in the period details - sleek, fitted trench coats, vintage cars, a drowning-in-neon movie theater playing Chaplin's The Gold Rush - and sets his Communist spies to dismantling 1930s train cabins, picking locks with paper clips, drugging their own coffee, and generally playing with genre tricks that were time-honored when Hitchcock used them. Zhang, celebrated for both masterworks ( Raise the Red Lantern), and pop hits ( House of Flying Daggers), can't seem to make a film that isn't visually exquisite. And that's all before they've even gotten where they're going. Allies who aren't what they seem, enemies who may be double agents, lies, traitors, double- and triple-crosses.
It's 1931 and they're Chinese agents, trained in Russia to fight the Japanese who've set up torture camps in Manchuria.īefore they quite get their bearings they're separated and up to their eyeballs in far more than snow.

It's hard to imagine a more persuasive limbo. It offers sparsely furnished rooms for maybe 20 young men, all of whom appear disoriented, bored, or both. Limbo's is stark and wind-swept - a fictional island in the Hebrides that's been outfitted as a holding camp for would-be Scottish immigrants. Scotland's refugee dramedy Limbo, opens in select art-house theaters this weekend, as does Cliff Walkers, a spy-flick from celebrated Chinese director Zhang Yimou, and both boast visual palettes eminently worthy of the big screen. With Hollywood blockbusters still missing-in-action - it'll be weeks before A Quiet Place Part II makes your local cinema a less quiet place - it's nice to report that other countries are happy to fill American screens.
