The True History of the Kelly Gang is another hostage from the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival that was forced to pass up a theatrical run and will be going out on VOD and digital platform…
the truth, apparently, is this movie — which opens with the message that none of it is. But even that filmmaker warning is subject to conjecture, as is just about everything about notorious Australian outlaw Ned Kelly and his Robin Hood-like exploits in the 19th century, where he lived a short life of just 25 years.
Justin Kurzel On ‘True History Of The Kelly Gang’: “In Australia, Ned Kelly Is Made Out To Be A Beacon” – Toronto Studio The film then covers his exploits in putting together the ragtag group of horse thieves and outlaws known as the Kelly Gang, which is a cross-dressing bunch derived from the Irish Sons of Sieve out to start a rebellion and avenge Ellen’s imprisonment. There also is his strange encounter at a brothel with not only Mary , to whom he takes a liking, but also a dour British constable and so much more — all leading to a horrific showdown with the authorities he so detests.
Ari Wegner’s cinematography is breathtaking at moments, and the costume design that included putting these mangy outlaws in women’s frocks is exceptional. But again, it ain’t for everyone. Paul Ranford, Hal Vogel, Liz Watts, and Kurzel produced. IFC Films is the distributor.and keep your inbox happy.
