MUMBAI: &Privé HD, the newest destination for nuanced cinema, is all set to premiere the Australian thriller-drama The Hunter on 18th of March at 1:00 pm and 9:00 pm. Directed by Daniel Nettheim, the riveting movie stars Willem Dafoe, Sam Neill, and Frances O’Connor in pivotal roles.

Based on the novel of the same name by Julia Leigh, The Hunter revolves around a professional and ruthless mercenary, Martin (Willem Dafoe) who is sent into the Tasmanian wilderness on a hunt for a tiger which is believed to be extinct. Posing as a scientist, he sets up a base-camp at a broken-down farmhouse living with a family whose father is missing.  As his attachment to the family grows, he encounters unforeseen dangers which complicate his already deadly mission.

Presenting multiple facets of the protagonist’s character, the movie will make some feel the cold-hearted killer’s tryst with the bereaved family, but there will be those who will feel the revelation of a gentle long-forgotten soul.
