The Boy Castaways

Renowned Australian theatre director Michael Kantor's cinema debut, a metaphysical, musical thriller that sees four men drawn into a dark cabaret of the soul.

"Four drifters find themselves lured into a vast playhouse, deep in the heart of the city. Taken in hand by the enigmatic leading lady, the men are plunged ever deeper into a labyrinth of jealousy, betrayal, violence and sex, dissolving the lines between desire and death. Populated with Australia’s brightest lights of theatre, music and film – including Tim Rogers, Paul Capsis, Megan Washington, Marco Chiappi and Mark Leonard Winter – and a score that reinvents the songs of the present and the past, Kantor’s film is a haunting ode to the magic of the stage and the visceral power of music."
