In Ivan Sen’s new film LIMBO, a jaded detective, played by Simon Baker (The Mentalist, Margin Call), travels to a remote Outback town in Australia to investigate the cold case murder of a local indigenous girl twenty years earlier. At first met with skepticism by the locals and by the victim’s family in a remote mining town — whose landscapes and cave-like dwellings are rendered otherworldly by the crisp, widescreen black-and-white photography — he gradually uncovers new details that reveal racist treatment of Indigenous people by the Australian police.
The multifaceted Indigenous Australian film director, Ivan Sen (Mystery Road), is renowned for his depiction of magnificent screen landscapes. In LIMBO, which he wrote, directed, scored, shot, and edited, he juxtaposes the low sky with the mounds above and holes below ground, around the opal-mining capital of Coober Pedy. The result is a serene “desert noir” that is as convincing as a detective story as it is a subtle portrait of the First Nation’s deep-seated experiences of everyday racism. A genre film suffused with bleak nostalgia.

“This is outback noir — oblique, secretive and as hard-boiled as the ground is hard-baked — and Sen wears it well.”
