"There are times vengeance is all we have." Goldwyn Films has released an official US trailer for film titled Measure for Measure, a contemporary update of Shakespeare's play of the same name. This premiered last year at the Melbourne and Busan Film Festivals. An unlikely love ignites between a modern Muslim girl and a local musician amongst the background of racial tension, amphetamines and gang culture in the city's notorious housing estate. Inspired by the play and influenced by the gritty realism of films like Amores Perros, the social conscience of Fish Tank, and dynamic aesthetic of Un Prophete, Measure for Measure questions the notion of justice, the ability for redemption, and examines the idea that "we can never escape our true nature or where we are from despite our attempts." The film stars Daniel Henshall, Harrison Gilbertson, Megan Smart, Mark Leonard Winter, and the great Hugo Weaving. Looks damn good. ›››
