Synopsis:


John Hillcoat had elegantly seduced the genre with the western The Proposition, with a screenplay by musical genius Nick Cave (who does the score to The Road). Now Hillcoat adapts Cormac McCarthy’s hit novel, ‘The Road’, to create a harsh, moving apocalyptic, film where ash rains from the sky and food has run very short. In a destroyed world, a father must do everything possible to protect his son during a difficult road trip. The film was shot in different parts of the United States, including post-Katrina New Orleans: landscape as fitting of science fiction as it is of westerns.

Director biography:


John Hillcoat

Born in Brisbane, he studied cinema at the Swinburne Film School of Brisbane. There he directed his first short films. He debuted with Ghosts… of the Civil Dead (88). After directing several music videos, he joined forces with Nick Cave (as a screenwriter) in The Proposition.
