Tim Winton’s The Turning, the group film produced by Robert Connolly and Maggie Miles, emerged from its cone of silence to be unveiled to a fascinated screen sector on Saturday Night at MIFF in the presence of all but two of its seventeen directors. It was a surprisingly relaxed historic moment.
The bottom line? This is a wonderfully beautiful film. Let yourself sink into it, trust the artists, and it will deliver a remarkable experience. Just, like, wow. It looks and feels fabulous. The sound and music are terrific.
