Episode 362: In The Seats With...Justin Kurzel and 'Nitram'

When true stories get adapted for the big screen...things get intense...On this episode we dive into 'Nitram' which is on VOD now with director/writer Justin Kurzel.In this film we meet Nitram (Caleb Landry Jones)  who lives with his mother (Judy Davis) and father (Anthony LaPaglia) in suburban Australia in the Mid 1990s. He lives a life of isolation and frustration at never being able to fit in. That is until he unexpectedly finds a close friend in a reclusive heiress, Helen (Essie Davis).
