Madman has released the first official trailer for Justin Kurzel’s NITRAM, ahead of its debut at Cannes Film Festival next week, where it will compete for the Palme d’Or. It is Kurzel’s fourth time in competition at Cannes, beginning with his 2005 short film, Bluetongue, followed by Snowtown in 2011, and Macbeth in 2015.
In full, their statement reads: ‘NITRAM was written as a response to the proliferation of regular mass shootings across the world and is an exploration of the issues and events that led to this atrocity, rather than a re-enactment of it, to bring the gun control debate to the fore and to try to ensure history does not repeat itself.’
