Lantana premiered at the Sydney Film Festival on the evening of Sunday, July 8, 2001, with the creators and most of the ensemble cast present, no one knew what to expect from an Australian drama that interwove a police investigation with a telling dissection of conflicted relationships. The film’s director, Ray Lawrence, was simply grateful the movie had been made, while the screenwriter, playwright Andrew Bovell, foresaw cult appreciation.
“I thought we’d made a difficult, little independent film that would have a small following,” Bovell says. “We weren’t expecting the response we got. It took me a while to realise that it had caught the zeitgeist and that people were talking about this film. It was thrilling to see that conversation build – without social media.”
Over the coming weeknights at 9:30pm on SBS World Movies, enjoy a selection of the best Australian cinema, with plenty more local gems streaming at SBS On Demand.
