Jindabyne

Jindabyne is an Australian crime drama about a group of men whose annual fishing trip takes a disturbing turn. Near the town of Jindabyne, Stewart Kane and his friends find the body of a murdered young woman in a river. Rather than returning home and reporting the discovery straight away, they stay on and keep fishing, only notifying the authorities days later. Once their delay becomes public, the men face anger and incomprehension from their community and their families. Stewart's wife, Claire, is especially shaken, and her efforts to come to terms with what happened strain their marriage and set her at odds with those around her. The victim was an Aboriginal woman, a fact that sharpens the reaction the story provokes.

Directed by Ray Lawrence, the film follows his earlier feature Lantana and was written by Beatrix Christian, with Catherine Jarman producing. Laura Linney plays Claire and Gabriel Byrne plays Stewart; the cast also includes Deborra-Lee Furness, John Howard, Riley Von Husen and Leah Purcell. It runs 123 minutes.

On IMDb the film holds a rating of 5.4 from 83 votes, indicating a modest audience response.
