Welcome to the jungle known as the Melbourne<br />
underworld. Animal Kingdom uses this edgy locale to<br />
unspool a gripping tale of survival and revenge. Pope<br />
Cody, an armed robber on the run from a gang of<br />
renegade detectives, is in hiding, surrounded by his<br />
roughneck friends and family. Soon, Pope’s nephew,<br />
Joshua “J” Cody, arrives and moves in with his hithertoestranged<br />
relatives. When tensions between the family<br />
and the police reach a bloody peak, “J” finds himself<br />
at the center of a cold-blooded revenge plot that<br />
turns the family upside down. Wielding a formidable<br />
cinematic lexicon, writer/director David Michôd shows<br />
complete command of every frame as he shifts between<br />
Anita (Alejandra Manzo) lives with her mother Dora<br />
(Norma Aleandro). Sweet and loving, Anita has Down<br />
Syndrome. Her idea of a good time is a trip to the Zoo<br />
or the local pastry shop. One afternoon her mother<br />
goes to the AMIA (Jewish Mutual Aid Center) to pick<br />
up Anita’s support check. She leaves Anita in charge of<br />
the family stationary shop. Suddenly, a flash and a loud<br />
noise temporarily stuns Anita. She comes to and finds<br />
the shop is a shambles, hit by shrapnel from the pipe<br />
bomb that destroyed the nearby center, killing many<br />
people . Anita wanders through Buenos Aires looking<br />

simmering intensity and gut-wrenching drama. There isn’t a false note<br />
in the film as it follows through on the tantalizing promise displayed in<br />
his short films and unleashes a fierce new voice in Australian cinema.<br />
Winner of this year’s dramatic jury prize for world cinema at Sundance,<br />
Animal Kingdom is a monstrously entertaining crime film that revels in<br />
its sinister mood, smart script and superb ensemble.<br />

their guardian angel rather than the other way around. Writer-director<br />
Marcos Carnevale (RBIFF‘s Elsa and Fred) masterfully draws us in from<br />
the outset with his admirably controlled, mature cinematic style and the<br />
superb performances he gets from an expert cast—though first among<br />
them is the <strong>nov</strong>ice, and completely captivating, Alejandra Manzo, in the<br />
title role. Wrenching, lovely, suffused with life, Anita is a profoundly<br />
hopeful study of human innocence, compassion and resilience in a<br />
fragile, troubled world.<br />
