The past 2 years have certainly been great years for Australian cinema, finding its feet in world cinema once again. The great thing about the current wave of films is the realistic feel to the films and how they highlight the darkness with in a human which is probably a shock factor too that there is people in our small world capable of doing dark deeds. Thankfully it's all stylishly created not the grindhouse style of the 1970's 1980's,

HAIL looks at a semi-biographical /fictional look at ex convict
Daniel P Jones life. It looks a tender but brutal account of his life and what love does to people when the love of your life is taken from you, the close-up, discordant montages give you that nightmarish look at a man falling apart. As for watching out for a horse, yes there's a dead horse been thrown out of a plane don't know why so it might mean you check this out when the film is due to play at
Rotterdam film festival this month.

Dan is in love with Leanne.
They were born on the same day- 19th June 1960.
They eat together. They live together. They steal together.
When Dan's love is suddenly ripped away from him, he is reduced to savagery.
Haunted by damning memories, Dan awakes to a transparent face against the sun… a half formed body slumped over a fence.
Dan swallows. Dan tries to sleep. Dan tries to hide.
Dan inhabits a world created by an idiot- unfinished, incomplete. There are holes in this world; gaps and voids in its creation.
Crushed by malevolent beauty, suffocating and filled with violence, Dan thrashes against the tide and goes on a journey to take back what is his.
Time is thin around the cause and dense around the effect.
Per Ardua Ad Astra – from adversity to the stars.
