Modern Love Involves Death

Modern Love is an Australian film that will release in North America April 6th. The film is shot in grainy, colour faded film stock and movie magazine site Variety.com is calling Modern Love: "suspenseful," which "maintains interest." The clip below shots the quality of the film and develops some intrigue as the character in the frame is mysteriously shot. Have a look below and see if this little Ozzie film interests you (writer Nick Matthews seen left).

The synopsis for Modern Love here:

"John (Mark Constable), Emily (Victoria Hill) and their young son Edward (Will Traeger) leave the city for what they believe will be a brief foray into the countryside to claim the small shack John has inherited. The family finds itself in a rural setting where nothing is what it seems. John's behaviour becomes increasingly bizarre as he crosses paths with the area's unusual inhabitants, some of whom he knows from a distant past. As his connections to the area are gradually uncovered, we witness a man with a long lineage of disaster, mishap and rural weirdness. Is this a dream? A nightmare? A rural fantasy? Is this a journey into the gothic heartland of rural Australia? Or is it one man losing his mind?"

Release Date: April 6th (DVD).

Director: Alex Frayne.

Writer: Nick Mathews.

Cast: Mark Constable, Victoria Hill, Will Traeger, and Damian Woodards.
