A middle-aged woman cares for her elderly father, whose will to live is on the wane.
Set in regional Victoria and shot in claustrophobic 4:3, Sunset Country is a contemplative, compassionate account of a very difficult stage of life that is rarely depicted on the big screen. With humble honesty and affecting precision, it offers a profound insight into ageing, grief, resignation and the pressure of being responsible for the life of another.
Sunset Country is making its world premier at the 2021 Melbourne International Film Festival. https://miff.com.au/
