Nitram is a stark Australian drama by Justin Kurzel about a troubled young man, Nitram (Caleb Landry Jones), whose isolation and longing for connection push him toward a fateful act. Set in 1990s rural Australia, the film follows his fraught family life with Essie Davis and Judy Davis, his social failures, and a dangerous craving for meaning. A restrained, unsettling character study that examines loneliness, vulnerability, and the roots of violence, without sensationalism.
