In 'Nitram,' director Justin Kurzel tells a chilling fictionalized tale about the young man responsible for the 1996 Port Arthur mass shooting in Tasmania that killed 35 and wounded an additional 23
It’s terrifying to raise children whom you can neither manage nor understand, and those unfathomable depths are plumbed bychilling fictionalized tale about the young man responsible for the 1996 Port Arthur mass shooting in Tasmania that killed 35 and wounded an additional 23.
In 1990s Australia, Nitram lives with his mother and father , who don’t quite know how to handle their progeny. Following a non-fiction prologue in which an adolescent boy in a burn ward explains that he’ll keep playing with fire no matter the damage it’s already caused him, introduces its protagonist setting off fireworks in his backyard, much to the irritation of a nearby neighbor.
Nitram has no friends, social life or capacity for well-adjusted interaction with others; the best he can do, early on, is strike up an awkward exchange with a young woman on the beach, which ends abruptly when her boyfriend Jamie , a surfer, materializes and casually shoulders Nitram out of the picture by making out with his sweetheart.
Kurzel’s camera watches Nitram from a distance in order to highlight his disconnection—from others, and from himself—as well as in anxious close-ups that provide Jones with ample opportunity to express his character’s volatile, mysterious inner turmoil. There’s no doubt that Nitram is mentally ill, and yet the precise nature of his condition remains as opaque as the thoughts that run behind his often-indecipherable eyes and arouse his beguiling smiles.
Nitram is a wild card barely kept in check by his parents, so when tragedy strikes, he’s completely incapable of maintaining any semblance of equilibrium. The first of those misfortunes involves Helen, whose sad fate is the direct result of her imprudently trusting nature, and the second concerns LaPaglia’s dad, whose demise is precipitated by dashed dreams and then a depression that Nitram vainly attempts to batter out of his father with his fists.
