Always a pleasure to stumble into a project we haven’t heard much about. When said project turns out be based on a true story, with actors of a A-class caliber…even better. Simone North’s new Aussie outing I AM YOU – starring Guy Pearce, Miranda Otto and Sam Neill – no doubt fits snuggly into that category. Let’s find out what the shite’s all about…
From Goldcrest Films International – I AM YOU revolves around: 15-year old ballerina Rachel, who is everything self-loathing Caroline is not. Caroline is determined to become someone new, even if that means murder. Based on a true story.
Okay, so it’s not quite BLACK SWAN territory…but sounds interesting nonetheless. If there’s one thing 2010 is staunchly preaching, it’s this: don’t f*ck with ballerinas!
Ruth Bradley, Kate Bell, Rebecca Gibney, Khan Chittenden, Justine Clarke, Jeremy Simms, Dena Kaplan, Diane Craig, Steven Vidler and Sally Christie also star in the film.
I AM YOU still awaits an exhibition slate.
The lovely Mrs. Otto!
