About this movie

DEAD EUROPE, from the producers of Shame and Animal Kingdom, is a tense and moody mystery set on the turbulent streets of contemporary Europe. The film follows a young photographer named Isaac who - while taking his deceased father's ashes from Australia to Greece - comes to learn that something sinister happened in his family's past involving a young Jewish boy. Despite an effort to distract himself with a mix of random sex and drugs, Isaac's world begins to unravel as he realises that he cannot escape the ghosts of the past. Marking the feature directorial debut of Australian filmmaker Tony Krawitz, with a screenplay by Louise Fox based on the epic novel by Christos Tsiolkas, the film also stars Marton Csokas and Kodi Smit-McPhee. 2012 Screen Australia, Dead Europe Productions Pty Ltd, Screen NSW
