Starring: Oscar Redding Arthur Angel, Paul Ashcroft
A group of prisoners escaped from a British penal colony in Tasmania, but very soon becomes clear that the men have no food on the huge and unforgiving island to high chances of survival. From a successful escape is a cruel and insidious Odyssey madness manifested in the minds of the refugees.
8 men in this dark woods, far from gods eyes
Particularly One, Van Diemen's Land exceptionally well: to show nature as a mirror image of the human psyche. The men on the run degenerated more and more dark figures of madness, as indicated by the sinister landscape at the beginning with their hard structures. Although the film would have certainly had the potential for some effective shock effects, director Jonathan omitted from the heath [what a name!] Deliberately directorial Hilsmittelchen of this kind, which makes the film more intense, as in pale brown and gray tones Film eating sustainably in the synapses of the viewer.
Morals dies first
Psychologically, the film succeeds in a consistent manner, the actions of the protagonists painful to make them traceable. Unfortunately, it has translated uniformly in the German version, the dialogues of the Irishman and the Englishman, so much disappear from the cultural Dispkrepanz, which robs the film, unfortunately, little depth. Therefore: In any case, enjoy the sound. Van Diemen's Land is a visually stunning, dark and very oppressive document of a journey into madness.
