Lantana

Directed by Ray Lawrence

LANTANA begins with a corpse and an extramarital affair, both of which will be explained by the film’s end. Yet, the film is only superficially a thriller, with a plot that covers for the kind of grown-up domestic drama that has all but disappeared with demographics.” (LA Weekly)

With excellent ensemble acting and a script that leavens tension with hints of comedy, this chance-impelled, multi-strand narrative tracks four marriages drawn into a tangled web of love, deceit, sex and death following the disappearance of a woman.
