Tim Winton’s fiction has served the Australian film industry well over the past few years, notably his short stories, butis the first of his novels to reach the big screen. Helmed by Gregor Jordan, last feted at TIFF for 2001’s anarchic“It’s a very unusual love story,” Jordan explained when he came to the Deadline studio. “It’s set in a very particular part of Australia.
Kelly Macdonald, who plays Georgie, told us that she was immediately attracted to the character, despite their many differences. “I hadn’t read the novel,” she said, “but when I read Jack [Thorne]’s script, she just really came off the page for me. I just felt like I understood her in a way, even though we’re obviously from different places, and I’m not at all outdoorsy like Georgie, or a swimmer, or anything like that.
