Check out this first trailer for The Royal Hotel, a new film led by Julia Garner and Jessica Fenwick. This one has just premiered at TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) and is set to play in US cinemas in October. Kitty Green directs.
Americans Hanna and Liv are best friends backpacking in Australia. After they run out of money, Liv, looking for an adventure, convinces Hanna to take a temporary live-in job behind the bar of a pub called ’The Royal Hotel’ in a remote Outback mining town. Bar owner Billy and a host of locals give the girls a riotous introduction to Down Under drinking culture but soon Hanna and Liv find themselves trapped in an unnerving situation that grows rapidly out of their control.
The film is released in US cinemas from 6th October so not actually all that long to wait. UK release is TBC as far as we can tell.
