About Movie:
Limbo is an Australian independent mystery-crime film directed by Ivan Sen and starring Simon Baker, Rob Collins, Natasha Wanganeen, and Nicholas Hope.
Filming began on 19 August 2022 at Coober Pedy in South Australia. The film was shot in black and white, partly for technical reasons, but mainly because of the large expanses of white ground at Coober Pedy, which provide a dramatic backdrop. Sen wrote the script based on his experience of the town, with its underground dwellings and unusual culture.
The film had its world premiere at the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival on 23 February 2023.
It premiered in Australian cinemas on 18 May 2023, and had its television premiere on ABC TV on 9 July 2023. It was invited to Horizons section of 57th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, where it was screened on 30 June 2023. The film was also invited to the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival in centrepiece section.
