Justin Kurzel on Ned Kelly and Wake In Fright

With Francine Stock.

Justin Kurzel, the director of True History Of The Kelly Gang, talks about the movie that has been a major influence on his film-making. Wake In Fright was made in 1971 and was in contention at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival that year. It was quickly forgotten, however, and considered lost until the film's editor discovered it in a bin in Pittsburgh in 2002. Fully restored seven years later, it went on to become a cult classic and a huge influence on Australian cinema.
