First Look: THE EYE OF THE STORM with Rush, Davis and Rampling

Twitch has this sublime trailer for director Fred Schepisi’s  THE EYE OF THE STORM . The film stars Geoffrey Rush, Judy Davis, and Charlotte Rampling…Australian and British goodies all around!

It looks absolutely charming and I adore anything Judy Davis is in.

Synopsis:

When Elizabeth Hunter (Rampling) has a stroke, her son (Rush) and daughter (Davis) fly across the world to be at her bedside, which raises all the family’s old frictions and resentments as they struggle to come to terms with who they are and what they mean to each other and how they can best survive one another. Based on the novel by Nobel Prize–winning author, Patrick White, THE EYE OF THE STORM is a savage exploration of family relationships – and the sharp undercurrents of love and hate, comedy and tragedy, which define them.

According to Dark Horizons, production began in mid April in Melbourne, Australia on Schepsi’s film and was also shot in Queensland and Sydney. THE EYE OF THE STORM was one of 13 productions to receive funding from Screen Australia and Transmission Films will distribute the film in Australia in 2011. I sincerely hopes this gem of a movie make its way to the U.S. next year.
