Under Capricorn
“Cold husband. Broken wife. Gallant lover. A triangle set to explode...and reveal a strange and unusual crime.”
In 1831, Irishman Charles Adare travels to Australia to start a new life with the help of his cousin who has just been appointed governor. When he arrives he meets powerful landowner and ex-convict, Sam Flusky, who wants to do a business deal with him. Whilst attending a dinner party at Flusky's house, Charles meets Flusky's wife Henrietta who he had known as a child back in Ireland. Henrietta is an alcoholic and seems to be on the verge of madness.
A suffocating atmosphere of repressed secrets and simmering tension. This film feels like a slow descent into madness, draped in opulent visuals and haunted by the ghosts of the past. It's a deeply psychological and unsettling experience.
