Directed by Cate Shortland | 106 mins | 2004
Shortland’s visually arresting debut feature, a standout at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival recently restored in 4K, follows 16-year-old Heidi (Abbie Cornish), in flight from a catastrophic fall out with her mother, as she posts up in the frigid Australian ski resort town of Jindabyne, there becoming enamored of a tight-lipped townie played with beguiling reticence by a pre-"Avatar" Sam Worthington. A film of disarming intimacy and unusual emotional perceptivity.
