About
Kar
Drama, Australia, 11:06
Dir. Nick Allen
Kar is a dark comedy that follows a filmmaker who wants to make a road movie about ‘fragile masculinity’ that announces him as an Australian auteur. Only problem is: he’s self-funding a short film. This acidic and self-reflexive film is built on existential angst and meta-movie hijinks.
