Limbo

Panorama

"Limbo, is an eerily meditative production with top-notch performances and a harshly beautiful monochrome veneer."

Travis, a jaded detective, arrives in the remote outback town of Limbo to investigate the cold case murder of local Indigenous girl Charlotte Hayes 20 years ago. As truths about the murder begin to unfold, the detective gains a new insight into the unsolved case from the victim's fractured family, the surviving witnesses and the reclusive brother of the chief suspect.

Filmmaker Ivan Sen uses black-and-white cinematography to capture the magnificent landscape and present a ‘desert noir’ that is both a detective story and a portrait of race relations, with a strong role for Simon Baker (The Mentalist).

Filmography: Mystery Road (2013), Toomelah (2011), Beneath Clouds (2002).
